Perelli 170/80 r 15 belted?

[josephjhaney]

This tire is listed as belted, and appears it would fit the stock rear, wouldn't that mean it's a radial? Or am I missing something.

The drop down shows a perelli night dragon at 170/80 r15 as "bias belted tubeless"

That's a BIAS Ply Tire (NOT a Radial):

Ahhh, here I thought all "belted" tires were radials. Guess I never had much cause to check till now. Thanks for the link!

The difference between bias and radials is how the steel belts are layed out in the structure of the tire I believe.
