There is a difference between radial and rib. Ribs on an aircraft tire are circumferal. When you use the term radial and tire in the same sentence, you are normally referring to the casing construction. This is not limited to aviation tires either.
This is so - my mistake in terminology: I was trying to refer to the conventional circumferal or 'channel' pattern of tyres.
