Radials?

I noticed that many of the new bikes are coming equipped with radial tires.  Has anyone had experience using these tires on the Savage?  Any opinions?

Don't take this as gospel, 'cause it's just one guy's experience on one bike, but I have a 140/90 Shinko 712R on the back of my 2006. Tire was on the bike when I bought it. Pretty sure it's a radial. Bike handles just fine. If it wasn't for the "R" stamped on the tire I wouldn't know the difference.

Never mind ! I just looked up that tire on the mfrs web site. It's not a radial after all. Sorry about that.
