The design of a radial tire produces less rolling resistance, thus less effort to roll it. That's why radial tires are the standard in the auto industry - better fuel economy (among a host of other things).

Why does it do that..?

One race said because the tie does not grow.
I think it is more about the structure of the tire.
Think it is about less parasitic drag and does not wiggle like a Bias Ply.

Can you run your bias ply slicks at 24 psi????

Keep your gear ratio in high gear?????

How much heavier are your bias ply tires over a light-weight radial???

These are just a few reasons for running a radial....

Just my 2 cents,
Bob

PS:

If you a racing against a radial tired car heads-up, you are already a tenth behind.

Hmm..run my M/T's at 28 pounds.
Looked at the M/T and Hoosier choices and no 28 inch Radials.
Unless go to DOT's

Radials make your lights faster too.
