Radial Tire –vs- Bias Tire question

[2000F150SAS]

I have a Radial Tire –vs- Bias Tire question.

I’m doing a SAS on a 2000 F150, standard cab, short bed and would like to know the advantages or disadvantages to running Bias Ties over Radials. Remember I have a 79 Dana 44 under the front.

Thanks

Bias tires are not good for a daily driver.

Ok, but why?

The bis ply tires will flatspot real easy when left sitting overnight. So if it is real cold, you will start driving the truck and have some vibration issues. After a few miles the tires will warm up and smooth out.

Ok, but why?

Bias - sticky and will wear out in very few miles if driven on the road.

Radial - will have legit tread life on the road.

Question is answered, radial it is.

Thanks
