CDL · Vehicle inspection
Should radial tires and bias-ply tires be used together on one vehicle?
Correct answer: No, they should not be mixed.
Answer options
- AYes, but only for driving on packed snow
- BYes, combining them improves handling
- CNo, they should not be mixed Correct
Why
The two tire types are built differently and flex in different ways, so combining them on one vehicle can make it handle unpredictably. Driving on packed snow does not make the combination acceptable.
