My story is not very good for comparing bias ply to radials. The tires were in real rough shape when I bought the truck, 5 bias ply and one radial, they rode hard and weren't round. As I continue to make improvements on it, I had all 7 wheels sandblasted, I painted some myself and had some powder coated. All 7 wheels now have radials, metric 22.5" Michelin for the steer tires and 10R-22.5 Firestone for the drives they are smooth as silk on the road.
