The idea behind radials is that they increase traction and don't compact the ground as much which leads to better fuel economy and higher yields. They also ride a lot nicer. So they are worth it if you do a lot of farming but there is a reason they don't come standard on compacts and that is because they are not really needed and cost too much. But the XM108 does give a larger foot print without having to change rims.

Also, regardless of brand, Radial tires are a lot more money then bias. But Michelin is considered the best in farm tires.
