ok... i'm needing new tires for my truck pretty soon so i was just looking at some different brands and tread patters...

i was just wondering... i drive 80-90% of time on-road but want a REALLY agressive looking tire to finish off my truck... but dont want a tire that will be bald after 10,000 miles... I was looking at IROK Bias, i saw that the Bias were built a little different then the regular IROK, for better on the road... how many miles do you think i could get out of the IROK Bias

 

I would assume with regular balancing, rotation, and PSI checks you would be able to get more than those 10,000 miles. (I would think 25,000 at least if you take care of them)
I'm in the same boat as you are. I'm looking at the Procomp X A/T because its aggressive and will last on the road.
I'm sure one of the vets in here such as wandell can really give you an answer.

 

i was under the impression that a bias ply was built more for offroad use, as opposed to a radial which was built to wear better and last longer on the road..but i could be totally off on this one, just what i remember from some reading a few years back...thats why most tires dont get offered in a bias ply version, only ones i could think of were some mickey thompson, interco (super swamper), and maybe the pitbulls? i think some of the old line of buckshot mudders (before the line got bought up by maxxis) and maybe some of the ground hawgs might have been offered in bias ply as well...im sure wandell will share some insight on this

 

if you spend 80-90% of time ON road, DO NOT get a bias-ply tire!! there are plenty of aggresive radials out there, bias-ply tires are great for off road but suck for the highway. they are hard to balance, flat spot, noisy, wear out faster, etc. they are just really old technology.

go with radials, you'll be glad you did.

 

I agree. You will be much, much better off with a radial tire.

 

I know this is kinda off topic, but what is the difference in Bias and radial tire construction?

 

It deals with the way the cords of the tire are wound. On a bias tire, they are wound around the tire. On a radial, they run across the tire, or radially.

 

if u want an aggressive tire that wears good i'd prolly go pro comp Xtreme a/t's or BFGoodrich m/t's... my mom has the BFGoodrich m/t's on her 05 F350 w/ 6" skyjacker and 37" m/t's and she has 50,000 miles on them and still has alot of tread left, great tire IMO

 

are you serious?!?! #1 you have a bad *** mom!!! hahahah #2 my friend put BFG m/T on his f-250 and he got 10-15,000 out of his?!?!?! really wierd?!?!

 

yea i kno my moms badass she has a freakin huge *** 05 F350 turbo diesel with a lift and big tires and she's only 5'3" lol

 

all she does is drive drive in the city and highway, no off-roading

 

If someone only gets 15,000 miles out of a set of BFG MT KM's he needs to stop entering burn-out competitions.

 

well said wandell

 

if you drive 80-90per. on the road DO not get iroks they look alsome but ride like crap. My friend has a nisson titian on 41 with iroks dont like the ride. try toyo mts

 

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA well... if you saw this truck you'd take that back... haha j/p... its a 86' F-250 and it wont spin the tires an inch if you poped the clutch... hahaha... and they weren't driven wildly becasue the truck was so slow anyways so?!?! i onow... it was just really wierd?
