Radial aircraft tires may exhibit different characteristics than bias
aircraft tires when operated under similar conditions. The following
guidelines are recommended:
1. The airframe must be certified for use of radial tires in place
of bias or vice versa. Questions concerning the certification of a
given aircraft must be referred to the airframe manufacturer.
2. Radial aircraft tires should not be mounted on wheels designed
for bias ply tires or bias tires on wheels designed for radial tires
without first checking with the wheel manufacturer.
3. It is acceptable to mount bias tires on nose positions and radial
tires on main positions, or vice versa, on the same aircraft.
4. For Return to Base Operation Only: In case a tire replacement is
needed in a remote location, the position may be filled with an appropriate
tire of the other construction for return to base operation only.
