Do some more research buddy only 10% road and 90% off road
i think he meant that the radials are designed as a tyre which are able to be used on road, unlike the bias,
yep its what i ment... :D thanks for the back up...
Radial Claws are designed for better ride and handling on the bitumen. The body plys run perpendicular to the bead and they have steel belts to maintain a flatter footprint. This is why the Radials give a better steering response at higher speeds. Much better as an everyday drive tyre.
With the Bias Claws the body plys run on a 72 degree angle. They generally run more plys than a radial and each ply alternates in direction so that they overlap in a criss cross manner. This makes the bias tyre a stronger, more robust tyre offroad due to its greater tear and damage resistance. The Bias Claw is unique in that it also has Fibreglass belting which reinforces the tread section, maintaining a flatter footprint than your more conventional Bias tyre and much better at speed while still allowing the flex and maleability through the tread section at lower pressures for better off road bite. It is legally speed and load rated to meet Australian requirements for road use, however it isn't as nice to drive on the blacktop when compared to a Radial construction.
Cheers,

Noisy or not?

How many km's should they last?

Any reports?

Coxy
They havent arrived yet, bit hard to report, and apparently they only come in 15inch wide, so, that would be 12inch wide rims?

For a daily driver is it?
They have arrived - Bro in Law has one on display in his tyre shop.
He has been told that the smaller sizes will be released before xmas.
