4x4x454 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2009 I will be doing the tire and wheel thing like rocmoc. I was just wondering what everyone thought radial or bias? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rocmoc 12 Report post Posted February 21, 2009 It is more what is available. Not many choices. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4x4x454 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2009 I have been able to find quite a few different options in 30x950-31x1050&31x1150. I'm just not sure what would be better but would think bias would be better for 4 wheeling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lenny 20 Report post Posted February 21, 2009 I noticed that Micky Thompson's Baja tire is bias ply. They say its bias to better hold up to the offroad beating. Lenny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rocmoc 12 Report post Posted February 21, 2009 BUT, radial would be better for rock climbing (wall flexing). I reality, IMHO I don't think it matters until you turn Pro! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rocmoc 12 Report post Posted February 21, 2009 Radial flex more than bias. That is the principle behind the design to keep the tread/contact patch always in contact with the surface. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
