This should also apply to the reaction time question asked.
It would seem that way, but the autos still are a fluid coupling, and don't hit the tire as hard initially. I have always had stick cars and the only time that I have used a radial was years ago when my Camaro ran L or M/S and I had a lot of wt and less power. It still loss in the 60 and 330 times, but made it up on the big end.

If there is any rt dif between the bias and radial, it certainly changes with the tire pressure.
