You can use a radial tube in a bias ply tire BUT you can not use a bias tube in a radial tire. The sidewall flex of a radial tire is greater than that of a bias ply. A bias tube cannot flex as rapidly as a radial tube and so the resulting friction or rubbing create too much heat and the tire/tube combination will blow.

Is it safe to put an inner tube in a radial car tire?
if the tube is radial too
what is a radial tire?
Radial tires came about in the '70's, and have an interior tube, as opposed to the older tires, which were solid rubber.
Can you use an inner tube in a steel belted radial tire?
Yes, but you should balance it.
Can an inner-tube be used on a tubeless type tire?
YES, AN INNER TUBE CAN BE USED CAN BE USED TO SUPPORT RADIAL TIRE, BUT IF THER US SIGNIFICANT SIDE WALL DAMAGE THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
Can you use a tubeless radial motorcycle tire on a tube type rim?
According to Dunlop's site, "With a tube inserted, a tubeless tire may be fitted to a tube-type wheel." They offer one warning though: "Do not fit tubes in radial motorcycle tires, nor fit radials on rims requiring tubes, unless the tubes bear matching size and radial (R) markings." http://www.dunlopmotorcycle.com/infocenter_tiretips.asp?id=20#tip So, as long as the tube is marked for radial use, you shouldn't have any problems running a tubeless radial tire with it. The same SHOULD apply to Bias ply tired, but I can no confirm that.
Can you use a radial inner tube in a regular tire?
"radial" has to do with how the reinforcing fabric is added to a tire. And since there isn't any reinforcing fabric added to tubes(they have to be able to expand) there's no such thing as a "radial" tube. But if you're asking about if tubes can be used in supposedly tubeless tires - then the answer is yes. It's an old trick to deal with leaky rims.
What are the differences between radial and bias ply tubes?
Bias tires were the standard until the radial tire became the norm. The difference is in how they are constructed. Bias tires were typically constructed of 4 plys that run at angles to each other and the body of the tire and cross each other. Radial tires have the belts at a 90-degree angle to the tire, and the belts overlap rather than cross each other. Radial tires have another belt, usually of steel cord, running around the tire under the tread. Radial construction allows the sidewall of the tire to flex under loads without affecting the contact of the tread with the road unlike a bias tire that flexes very little. It is this flexing that requires you to use a radial tube in a radial tire. The tube is designed to handle the flexing without overheating as a bias tibe would.
Is radial tire better than tubeless tires and which better reduces the risk of accidents in the event of leak in the tire Can one still drive to safety?
Radial tyres are mostly tubeless nowdays and are the best available in the market. Radial Tubeless tyres use wire construction which distributes load and grip on the road evenly and is the best technology used. Compared to the old and cheap non-radial tube tyres which are more risky to drive in case of tyre failure. Drive safe wear a helmet weather your tyres are radial tubeless or not.
Do radial tires require special patches for puncture repair?
Yes, you wouldn't want to use a patch for a bicycle tube on a truck tire.
Is it safe to plug a motorcycle tire?
would not plug a tubeless tire or tire tube comb.bad idea!only thing holding you to the road.think about it.
How do you repair a flat tire on a bike with the old tire?
If it is tubeless then patch the tire on the inside. If it has a tube patch the tube.
Can you use a tube type tire without a tube?
No
