Default Radial Tires

Why not??
I've not heard of anyone useing a radial on a TM and just wondered why? They seem to ride a bit softer and look sorta squishy but so what. I know they make a radial trailer tire so what's the difference.
Also, to play Devils advocate, what about mixing radials and bias. You've had a flat and the nearest tire dealer is "out" of the bias ply tire. Only has a radial. Do you buy it or ride down the road spareless??

Goodyear Marathons are radial tires.

I just went outside and looked at the tires on my TM. "GoodYear Marathon Radial" is printed on the side of them.
