Triumph America

Ok I am still having a hard time finding what I am looking for. I have been reading this forum and many others for some time. Appearantly not many who ride triumph ride dark side. I am trying to find a good starting point for going dark side as I build my bobber. So could some wise sage of the Dark side please help me out. I have read and read and read but can't seem to get anywhere with this.
I read that there are tires to use and tires not to use but not which is which. What tires are good? Why are the other ones bad?
radial or bias ply and why? Mc tires are bias but many advocate radial. ?????

oh and how about plys 4, 6, 10?

most MC tires today are radials, but for giggles I looked up the specs on the America

and whats odd, is that the front is radial and the rear is bias, never seen that before oem

I would not reccomend a bias CT personally. IMHO its because the CT is radial is the reason they handle very similar to a MC tire

6-10 ply tires are for trucks somehting else I would not reccomend on a MC, if you really want a 10ply 15" tire, good luck finding one, thats what my 30 year old van takes and I had a very hard time finding a set, seems like all new trucks take 16" or larger when I was looking all the online sources had "3 or less" in stock, meaning none
