Bias vs Radial

Classic Car Tires 101 | AUTOMOTIVE MILEPOSTS

In a nutshell, the article states a radial has more flex.

If we lower tire pressure, we get more flex, more heat and less mileage.

If we raise tire pressure, we get less flex, less heat and greater mileage.

So, what say ye? Have we been duped into believing radials are better, like having to change oil every 3000 miles, and running door placard pressures, ET doesn't exist, etc....
