White Paper: Difference Between Radial and Bias Tires

Radial vs Bias Tires

In one of our previous white papers, we’ve talked about how to build a tire. During the tire carcass building phase, we encountered two types of construction methods: radial and bias/diagonal. This white paper takes a closer look at the difference between radial and bias tires. These differences encompass various aspects, including performance, durability, and traction. All considerations are explained in our white paper and also summarized in a convenient table. This visualization of radial vs bias tires help you with an overview of all tire differences.

Construction Method and Key Differences

It’s crucial to have a basic understanding of the construction methods before moving on to the key differences of radial and bias tires. The layers of fabric cord plies are constructed differently in these tires, which is the main difference between radial and bias tires. The key differences are also included in the paper. After these subjects, you will find important information about choosing the right tires. This paper will help you make the choice between these two tire construction types.

Choosing Between Radial and Bias Tires

While radial tires are ideal for high-speed driving and everyday road use, bias tires are excellent for heavy duty and off-the-road use. The choice between these two tire construction types is one of the fundamental decisions to make when you’re selecting your tires. It’s not just a matter of preference; the choice between these two construction methods can significantly impact your driving experience, safety, and even fuel efficiency.

In this white paper, we aim to shed a light on the key differences between radial and bias tires. Would you like to know more? Download our white paper for full insights and comparison of radial vs bias/diagonal tires.
