Radial ply construction reduces internal friction which minimizes operating temperature and reduces rolling resistance as compared to bias ply construction. Radial tires can have as much as 30% less rolling resistance than bias tires under normal operating conditions. The low profile design reduces rolling resistance another 10% over standard profile tires and tubeless tires provide a 2 to 3% advantage over tube-type tires.
