BT45's do great for combo of commuting and fun riding. They handle rain confidently as well. I did find that the front tire wore a tad funny, but other than looking odd, it felt fine the whole way through its lifespan.

Don't worry about the bias ply vs radial for now. There's benefits to both. Technically, radial tires vs bias-ply tires flex differently, warm up differently, wear differently, and are best with different pressures because of that. BUT! That's not the important part.
