New to the Forum and new to carting. The first thing I want to do is bigger rims and tires. I can't find any info on the pros and cons of bias vs radial tires. I run mostly on asphalt or grass. Any advice would be appreciated

23 X 10 X 14 Road Hawks. Ordered new rim and tire combo on line but don't remember from where. Sorry. I'll see if I can find the company.

It is very pressure related. Radials tend to give better handling in performance driving, as the tread wraps around to the sidewalls better than the older bias ply designs. Decent performance tires for smaller wheels are getting harder to find, as tire manufacturers are favoring the trend of larger wheels with lower profile tires. I have a much harder time finding low rolling resistance tires for my EV each time I buy a set of new tires. I have had to just accept what I can find, and bump the pressure up to the max rating just to keep my power consumption on the highways at a decent level. I keep an eye on power usage while I'm on the highways. I have noticed that the tires I've been able to get more recently are getting worst on rolling resistance. I have to lower my average driving speed to keep power consumption at the same level. My EV uses 175/65R14. I have over 335K miles on it so far. I live in the mountains, so I need tires that are going to grip the road in tight curves.
