Lots of opinions, lots of options. I got my first set of radials last year on a Ford 7710. Pulled great, did not have fluid in the tires and never knew it; until I tried to stop on a hill when the ground was frozen with 2 flat wagons with roll bales double staked. It started pulling me back and when I tried to go forwad tires spun on top of the ground. Needless to say I full loaded with fluid. Another observation, the tractor rode really rough with radials and air, rough with fluid, and last week when I put new bias with fluid on it started riding "smooth as silk".

I chose bias and fluid for price. Two tires 16.8X38, new tubes, pump fluid, and a service call was $785.00. Two radials alone were $975 plus tubes and service call. A radial with a steel fence post stuck through the sidewall is just as ruined as a bias tire. That's what happened, found an old broken off post the hard way. Replaced them both for about what one of the radials and the house call would have been. Smooth ride was a bonus.
