Yeah, I did a lot of reading here on the bias vs. radial topic. It is clearly one of those "can of worms" topic, just like asking about truck brand vs. store brand tools. I think my wheels are in good shape and I plan to have tubes put inside the radials (I didn't know you could do that until I read a few posts here).

I'm just not sure I'm ready to spend an extra 2-400 bucks for tires just because they have a certain brand name or appearance. I'm open to nice looking tire suggestions if anyone has one to offer.
