Default Radial GA tires

Is there anyone out there who is running on or has tried radial GA
tires? My question is in regard to rolling friction compared to
conventional ply. Notice any difference in take off roll, particularly
on rough fields? How about ground handling on landings?

I wasn't aware that aviation radials were available. IIRC, Michelin
aircraft tires are bias-ply,not radials.


All the Dassault Falcon's have Michelin radials. They 're GA also -
no?

The big Alaska Bushwheel tires are also radial construction.
