What are the benefits of bias ply tires?
Sidewalls The bias sidewalls are made out of the same compound as the tread. This means they are more resistent to side punctures. Repair The bias tire can take more damage and still be repairable by an experienced tire shop. Self Cleaning Because of the tread pattern, these tires tend to release or fling off mud and material, allowing for a good grip of the terrain. Strength The cross-plyed construction and the ability of manufacturers to layer plies. This construction creates a strong tire that is ideal for towing. Price The frugal will still find the bias tread tire less costly than its radial counterpart. Steady Ride The cross-ply tire conforms to the terrain, giving passengers a smoother ride, while the radial tire depends on the vehicles suspension to steady the ride.
