A bias ply setup will not work for a radial tire and same goes in the other direction.

Good Advice.
I ran up to 19.5lbs in my 275 radials and have never had one spin on the rim with Hi-Tack. I run the Pro Bracket Radial now and have run them anywhere from 18 to 21lbs.
Shocks are loose on extension and tight on compression. Have been 1.33 60ft at 3750lbs. with stock suspension.
