I'd disagree with you about putting radials on a tractor under 140 hp. I've been changing everythign over, mainly for wear since the radials wear 2-3 times as long for me (the one's I've had on for a while) which equates to a fair bit lower operating cost even considering the up front price. I tend to think that the vastly improved ride and superiour pull are just a bonus. I've never seen the fuel efficiency increases that are advertized, but I work the tractors harder now than before too. The biggest tractor I have is a Ford 7710 at 105 hp.... so I'm a long way off that 140. The smallest tractor with radials here is a 45 hp. I will admit that radials are not for everyone, but these tractors get worked hard on drawbar work, loaders and mud so the radials (particularly the Michelin) have been a considerable advantage in many situations. If it was just a utility tractor that sat around on an auger or did a bit of hay work, then I'd be inclined to look at bias, mabey.
