Those tires measure 36.2 x 12.7 exactly according to Interco. Why not the 36 x 12.5 Bias TSLs? I think the TSL 36 bias will be my next tire... slightly bigger than the radial as well. the c.s. is 12.7( cross section) The tread is 9" why can't they just make a normal tire? |

Do not get the bias plys if you are planning on driving on the street alot. I went through that nightmare with my Ford Ranger w/ 36/12.5 bias. The truck would shake like there was an earthquake going on. |

The truck would shake like there was an earthquake going on. I only drive mine on the street to the trails... no other times, but the vehicle shouldn't shake because of tires... maybe an alignment issue, but not because of tires... noise YES. What you are describing sounds like death wobble. |

It is almost impossible to balance them. For the trails, they are far superior though. They do have a better lug pattern too, bigger and wider than the radials. Just be aware, they are unforgiving on the road especially when cold.
