How would BF Goodrich Power grips Bias ply do for pulling in farm stock classes vs. radials. 20.8-38 in #12000 & #14000 classes. Side walls are good and stiff, no cracks look brand new other than tread of course, have about 35% tread left. Most everyone else has radials, I had these laying inside shed, so gonna use them this summer. I was told to run psi different than it being a radial. basically 1lb per how heavy class (ex. #12000=12lbs. psi. Everyone else runs radials I 'm gonna be different, just wanted some opinions thanks

Just put 4 or 6 inch rings in rims and widen them out, would be about the same footprint for a lot less money than trying to find another set of radials. Wonder if you would have a problem running bias tires that low on air. Looking at what the widened bfg's look like on the pro farm, they would look wicked on the farm stocks.

these tires look pretty wide now, when you look at the very top of the tire going across the rim they almost look flat, guess we'll see what happens
