Radial tire properties help you achieve better productivity, efficiency and higher yield. Bias and radial tires comparison bias radial Tire construction smaller footprint deformations in the tread pattern = more slip, less traction Traction + wider and longer footprint + less distortion in the tread pattern = better grip, better traction Bias (Diagonal, cross-ply) Tire A pneumatic tire in which the ply cords extend to the beads and are laid substantially at alternate angles less than 90 to the centre line of the tread. Footprint Bias tire footprint Radial Ply Tire A pneumatic tire in which the ply cords extend to the beads and are laid substantially at 90 to the center line of the tread, the carcass being stabilized by an essentially inextensible circumferential belt. radial tire footprint higher inflation pressure uneven ground pressure distribution = higher soil compaction lower tractive force and more slip higher risk of punctures, cuts and tears = lower productivity higher fuel consumption rapid wear = higher operational costs Ground handling + lower inflation pressure + even ground pressure distribution = gentle ground handling Productivity + better traction, improved transfer of power to the ground + greater resistance to punctures, cuts and tears = greater productivity Economy + reduced fuel consumption + longer service life = lower operational costs $
