Hmm. Didnt know that.

And thats not your basic street tire, basic street tires are steel belted radials, bias ply is completely different. They are quite stiffer, that would be the only reason i'd see why it would be used instead.

I can't get into it right now as I have had to much to drink.

But...
Bias ply = Streetable.
Otherwise you are running a non-tubed tire.

I think.

Yeah My Indy Pro S/S's are biased.

And I'm doing the cardinal sin, running Goodyear radials up front, and biasply M/T's in the rear

Pretty sure I am wrong. Musta been drinking and got them backwards.

Bias ply are not what I have.
I have radials. Front and back.

Im not 'sure' your right about that. Because to be DOT approved for street use, they would almost have to be SBR's.
