You should usually stick with what the bike came with originally. Although radials have numerous advantages, the bias ply tend to have more rigid sidewalls, and with the weight of your bike, you might need the rigidity, less you get a slightly squirly situation. You might not get the great lean angles that bikes equipped with radials get due to the contact patch and traction, but bikes equipped with radials have these excessive lean angles planned during design and construction. Whatever you do DON'T MIX BIAS WITH RADIALS. you've got two tires with different characteristics, and every manufacturer will say it's iffy at best. Many manufacturers have great bias and radial tires, and your best bet is, you get what you pay for with tires. If you equip cheap tires your tires will transmit this to you, if you put more premium grade tires, you'll have a better ride. Keep your tire pressure up, if you're running 20lbs like these wannabe rossi's are trying to do on their cheng shins and F2's you're gonna get into an accident. Keep it up, especially on a touring bike, I run 38-40 in front and 40 rear, hot, cold, fast, slow, my tires last a while, the bike handles crisp, and I have never had a problem with traction in any situation that didn't deal with my own miscalculations. Yes, I've ridden Rain, Snow, Sleet, Shine and 115 degree days. Other than keeping good tires, work on being smooth, smooth is fast and fast is smooth.
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.
You should get radial tires because if you go to www.mud-throwers.com it lists all of the disadvantages and advantages. So you should spend a little more money on the radial tires.
radial
yes they should
radial artery
The Pulse Deficit
radial
NO. the difference between the Apical and Radial pulse is known as the pulse deficit. There should be some difference between the twon.
The radial artery is the one that is used to take a pulse at the wrist.
Quite possibly. The radial tire was invented in the 1940's and became widely used in the US during the 1970's. Radial tires should not be confused with steel-belting which is used to strengthen the tread resistance to puncturing in both radial and the older bias-ply tires.
Jellyfish have radial symmetry.Jellyfish are a part of a group called Cnidarians and the have Radial Symmetry.radial symmatry. . . Means all planes about longitudinal axis wil give you two equal halves. .
Legality has nothing to do with it. Safety is what you should be concerned with. You should never ever mix Bias & Radial tires on the same vehicle. This will cause the vehicle to handle in an unsafe manner. The handling characteristics of Bias Ply and Radial Ply tires is so very different that it is unsafe to mix them.
