A: "Radial tires are only available in a tubeless configuration. Bias-ply tires can be had in either tubeless, or tube type. Tube type tires can’t hold air without a tube because the bead is not designed to seal against the wheel efficiently as it does on a tubeless tire. Also, the tire itself is not designed to hold air as some air can escape through the tread. The primary difference between radial and bias-ply is that a radial can sustain a much higher speed rating because the radial tread design generates much less heat than a bias-ply design. Another big difference between radial and bias-ply is in performance. A bias-ply is a very strong tire often (but not always) with a very stiff and strong sidewall. They are very durable and are a real working tire. A radial is a lighter tire by design and is geared around performance with a softer and more responsive sidewall and tread. For example, all sport bikes run a radial tire due to performance and speed rating requirements while many cruisers run bias-ply tubeless tires because their top speed is not very high and the performance requirements of a Harley type cruiser are not very demanding on a tire. Bias-ply are also a bit cheaper to buy than radials due to manufacturing costs." [ sourced from: http://tech.bareasschoppers.com/resources/tires-101/ ]

A: Yes, these would work great for your 2003 Kawasaki Mean Streak. The sizes for your bike are listed as Radials, you'll want to look for the 130/70R-17 Front Tire and the 170/60ZR-17 Rear Tire..
