Off-the-road junkies and truckers are faced with the choice of bias ply, also known as cross-ply tires, or radial tires. When making that decision, the first question becomes, "What are the benefits of bias ply tires?"
The bias sidewalls are made out of the same compound as the tread. This means they are more resistent to side punctures.
The bias tire can take more damage and still be repairable by an experienced tire shop.
Because of the tread pattern, these tires tend to release or fling off mud and material, allowing for a good grip of the terrain.
The cross-plyed construction and the ability of manufacturers to layer plies. This construction creates a strong tire that is ideal for towing.
The frugal will still find the bias tread tire less costly than its radial counterpart.
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.
