Which tire to use W Speed Patrol Front

old · Mar 23, 2018

So I have the repair a front tire on my W Speed Patrol due to the tube going bad. Leaks at the stem. Right now it has a road tire like what was commonly used on the front of older trucks and I is a bias tire. I have the option of using it or a mud and snow bias tire or a radial 245/70R16. So which will give be better traction for steering.

The bias mud and snow would be my choice

Agree, Jim

Bias has much srtiffer side walls. Radials will squirm. Have seen radials in a really hard pushing turn and you would bet the tire was going to pop off the rim.

Whichever one will hold air. I would put the bias one on but then that would make me biased.

These are tube type rims so the tire does not hold air the tube does
