Radials are better for sure, but don’t count out bias if you’re heavy into mudding. They have their place.

It’s not just about having the right tires, but also keeping them in optimal condition for safety and performance.

Like a pogo stick but way less controllable.

I switched to radial last year and honestly, the ride feels smoother. Haven’t regretted it.

Always check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

I’ve always used bias ply and wonder if it’s worth the switch.
