In Reply to: Bias VS radial duals posted by super99 on March 29, 2016 at 19:03:04:
Well, years ago, when we actually drove on the highway on bias ply tires, as I recall, they wore out in no time. I remember having to spend more money on tires than on gasoline. One thing that was dangerous was mixing radials with bias tires. Radials on the rear and bias on the front would be nearly impossible to keep going straight at any significant speed. Radials on the front and bias on the rear made it really unresponsive to turning maneuvers. Mixing on the same axle was deadly. No way would a car go in a straight line with a radial on one side and a bias on the other.
On a tractor, at low speeds like in a field, probably would not be a problem. However, mixing a radial with a bias on the same pair might cause them to work against each other. Might cause unusual tire wear. Probably not recommended. Keep in mind that the two tire types are totally of different construction. Could turn out to be incompatible with one tire doing all of the work while the other does not add its share to the dual setup.
Just my opinion, but I would be inclined to stay with one type. That would provide the best performance. After all, it is a proven fact that radials are superior tires in every respect as compared to bias ply tires.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
