I believe the problem with tires aging to being unserviceable within several years is due to the compounds used in their manufacture. Newer tires - those made in the last 20 years or so - are meant to deteriorate over time so as to reduce the accumulation and environmental impact of large numbers of used tires. Tires made before these compounds were used usually have a long life expectancy for low mileage use. I don't think it is a question of radial v. bias ply construction, but would think radials and bias tires would now be made of the same materials. JWL
