bias vs radial

My question is what are the differences in ride quality, tread life, and other stuff on radials and bias tread tires. I'm looking for something for mainly highway driving dry or wet, and maybe snow. The reason I'm asking about bias is because I also want some widewhites and most of them are bias.

I got a set of Coker Classic radials. They have the exact same look as the bias ply, but feel much nicer on the road, and turning (especially without power) is WAY easier. Im also sporting about a 4" whitewall on them. Much softer ride too Im told. There is a pic in my gallery if you want to take a look.


Good luck.
