I kinda like the way the radials squirem on the road... especially when I hit a bump. I'd rather the tire take it than my spine. All a matter of what you're used to I spose. I do agree with you on the 100-150 hours a year usage though. That's about where I draw the line on raidals. If they're likely to rot off first, then I go with a Firestone bias. Won't be Titan 'here'. Tire guy is likely correct about radials on big 2 wheelers as well. If they could be ballasted correctly, the radial would probably help... but how many are ballasted correctly? I think there are exceptions to that though. In field conditions this year with the moisture we had, the footprint on the Michelins made a huge difference. They made a huge difference over even the Firestone 23 degree radials. I dragged the baler through holes this year where I would have been stuck with bias tires, even with FWD. It's really quite interesting to watch those tires spread out in the mud, leave a 2" deep lug print in the mud, not spin, and then have the baler coming behind with 11L15's, sunk to the axle and not a wheel turning! I never did that with a bias tire. The tractor would be sunk to the axles first.

Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
