The real deal is that the tire size, shape, and tread compound make more difference than the angle of the plies. I remember reading a sport/race tire compare in Motorcyclist about 5 years ago when the Dunlop Sportmax radial was the new, hot tire that everybody wanted. The bias ply Metzeler ME-1s were the only bias tires in the test and they won the competition. The tires were shod on a GSXR-750 or ZX-7 that was fitted with radials from the factory.  more
