    radials will run nicer on the road and I think they will most likely last the life of your boat… wait.. how old is your rig ? lol

    I would definitely go with radials over bias ply. In my experience, bias ply’s last 3 to 5k miles vs. 25k+ miles with radials

    Radials are better I destroyed my bias tires last year on a trip to canada going down a rough road to the resort. Bias will not hold up.

    same advice as everyone else. I would never go back to bias.

    Do NOT mix. If you replace one with radial, they both need to be radial
