My04T4R Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I was more concerned with getting some advice on bias ply tire construction vs radial Bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Well ill give u what know, I had a set of 36" tsl radials, not too bad on the road but difficult to balance, good as any mud terrain in the slop, my 38"tsls were fricken awesome everywhere but the road, felt like was riding on octagons! Hope that helps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e36m3 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 i spoke with my buddy back home, he has 37s tsl bias on his jeep ( they are more like a 36 ) and says they are awesome in the woods, really really stiff even when deflated. he has beadlocks so he goes down to around 8psi. on the road, well, he says they are horrible and since he works up in northern quebec, he'll buy a diesel dodge to haul the rig this year.

My04T4R Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Have experience from my younger days. Had a set of Yokohama MT's that were bias ply and swore I'd never go back. They were my all year set, so take that into consideration. The old Nissan 720 had enough vibrations & shakes as it was...running the bias ply certainly made for interesting travel for the first 5 or so minutes in the summer, and almost 15 on the cold winter days. Can you chime in a bit more on this as you are the only one who seems to support this for an on the road tire, I will be driving it around town and trail with the bias ply's but for long trips switch back to the radials... any reason not to go for a bias ply? as im going to pull the trigger on these pretty soon.. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjoecanadian Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Just depends on where you drive and how much road vs trail, you will love them off road, but you will hate then on the road. I am only home 5 days a month and I wouldn't put them on my truck unless I owned another truck or car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e36m3 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 what my buddy told me is they are hard to balance, he gets a some vibration in the steering at highway speeds, lots of noise, doesnt turn great. he still drives the truck to the trail and then back. like i said, his tires are a lot bigger than what you are looking, so it shouldnt be as bad. it really doesnt take more than 30 minutes to switch the tires so i dont see why you just wouldnt put the geolanders and spend a bit of time installing the TSls when you go on a trail. a lot of people drive them on the road. Iannick ( flipflop ) on here had 38s on his and was daily driving his TJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My04T4R Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Hmm, then its decided, save the geolanders from destrcution and run them as my road tire, get the sx's for trail use only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
