Radials have more traction than bias and that's a fact. Mounted will always pull easier than pull-type especially if the Traction Booster system is functioning.

My thoughts are radial for tillage and road use. Bias for loader work and hills, seems like they are more stable in my opinion on the sidewalls. I am still trying to determine which dry rot quicker. I also think filled tires allows them to flex more and give a bite over just adding weights.

I just put new rears on my 200. Same size as yours. I wanted radials for a smoother ride (hopefully). The only thing my tire guy could get at this time was Firestone EVO performer which I think is right at the top of the line for Firestone. No liquid ballast and went tubeless. Total bill after service call was $2,166.00. More than I wanted to spend but they are really good looking tires with a good deep tread. I was surprised that they are made in USA.

According to Norm's book, Radials give you a 5.2% advantage in unplowed ground and 2.9% in disked ground. As tested on an 8070.
