question for darksiders

Ive been thinking about going over to the darkside, but I just put a new tire on the front of my Nomad and its a bias ply, when my rear tire is ready I am thinking about going to a car tire, probably a radial, is it safe to run a bias with a radial till it comes time to replace my front tire again?

I have a radial car tire on the rear and a bias Elite 3 on the front. Yes, it's no problem.

Yes no problem.... Later if you wish you can replace a dead ft tire with a radil if you like. I just did. 200 miles on it now and it is quiet, doesn't spit road gravel, and seems to roll better.

How long it will last is a question I won't answer this season I hope..
