Radial tyre construction uses body ply cords which are laid across the tread extending from bead to bead, so the cords end up parallel to each other at approximately 90 degrees to the centreline of the tread.
Radial tyres are extremely durable and maintain good traction with the road, providing good traction with the road providing better steering control.
Radial tyres have much more flexible sidewalls because of their construction. They use 2 or more casing plies, with cord loops running radially from bead to bead.
A properly inflated radial tyre runs cooler than a comparable bias ply tyre, increasing tread life.
Also a radial tyre has less rolling resistance as it moves over the road surface increasing fuel economy.
