Radial tires???
I was just cruising the CSC website and noticed on the RX3 tire specs 100/100R-18 and 130/70R-17. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the R designate a radial tire?

so in that case the "S" must be for a square tyre
PS.... Is there a "T" for triangle ones ? And for all these years I thought the "R" was for ratio as in the aspect ratio %.... Just goes to show you are never to old to learn something new... hell I was really over thinking this tyre thing.... ..

I just emailed CSC and they confirmed the tires are bias ply, not radials. I got confused because the specs showed radials but the replacement tire page showed bias ply.
Thanks for the laugh Adjuster. Just one of many of my "Here's your sign" moments. |
