What is "Radial"?

I guess I know what radial is, but why do I never see anyone running them around here? Or am I completely off track since tires may possibly be radial all around now??

 

dont have a clue.
just trying to get my post up

 

It's a street tire.

 

wow really whoring it up tonight aint ya???


as for radial im not 10% shure on this but i think thats when the tire has the wire mesh in it to make it not be as rubbery

any 1 wanna correct me on this??

 

it kinda feels good, dont usually get this much play in one night

 

yea im getting my whoreing in too
i need to get my post count up if i ever wanna beat del for being best whore

and im too lazy to look it up

 

shit happens.
sorry dgerm

 

id look it up but i have a bone in my leg therefor i cant do it

 

bump anyone help?

 

Radial just refers to the construction of the tire. You'd be hard pressed to find any truck tire that isn't a radial nowadays. Read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_tire



hope that helps

 

Thanks that actually what I read last night.

That is what prompted me to ask. I was just confused with some brands aying radial and others don't.

So Is it a safe bet to assume that most tires are radial

 

glad you found your answer

 

yeah... i guess they will put "radial" on the tire wall when they can't think of anything else better to put there... but all tires for the most part are

 

I thought that some off-road tires are not radial. They are strictly for that use, but I think those are loader on the road.
