Radial tires tend to follow wheeltracks while bias tires will try to climb out (wandering). Bias tires arent bad but different than radials. Good racing radials are closer to bias design than radial(stiffer sidewalls). But ANYTHING is better than the crap BFGs you had.
Glad you are liking them and glad you are no longer wearing BFG's. It is an amazing difference. Did you have the car corner-balanced? Next to tires, that can also make a huge difference. At least it did for me.
