Yes, but you can't mix the two types on the same axle and tire companies discourage mixing in all four corners. I.E. choose one type or the other for all four wheels.

Keep in mind old fashioned bias ply tires don't wear as well as radial tires, may not get as much traction and aren't as fuel efficient. So, unless you're mounting tires on a 1960s or earlier vehicle to make it 'period correct' there's nothing to be gained and a lot to lose by replacing radials with bias ply tires.

What is a Difference between a bias - ply tire and a radial tire?

Radial tires are worlds beyond bias ply tires. In radial tires, the steel chords are placed in a criss-cross pattern. Whereas bias ply tires are placed flat across the face of the tire. Bias ply tires are much, much harder for the engine to turn and are much harder for the suspension to compensate for. Bias ply tires are almost no longer used. That goes for America at least.

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.
