With the right tires, in the right conditions, with the right amount of weight... yes. Radials can give an enormous advantage in pull. As an example... an 'R1-W' Michelin Agribib with it's deep lug will probably pull twice as much in soft ground as many bias tires will do so long as you have enough weight there to make it bite. It'll also outpull a radial like the 'Firestone Radial All Traction 23 Degree' by a similar margin in the same conditions... On the flip side... if you're on hard road all the time any cheap old bias will outpull both because the bias doesn't squirm as much. The 23 degree radial is really good in moderately hard soil conditions where it can get some bite but the ground is still dry. They've all got their place. In terms of road wear on asphalt... I think I've got to give that one to Michelin, flat out, hands down. The short answer... with my perception of what you're doing with the tractor... if it was mine I'd buy a Galaxy... I think AgMaster is the model. It uses the old moulds for the Firestone Field and Road.
