They come in radial and bias. If bias will be like walking on jelly fish on the black top:eek: The bias is more durable off road.

They are bias......are they worth 1000 for 4, or is it better waiting for some mickey thompson 35's to appear???

If your using this thing on road a lot I'd say no way. Unless Boggers they're not that flash in the mud either. But are very tough in rocks.
I have 35" Micky T MTZs on my 120 and they are awesome on the black top and still surprisingly good off road. Only complaint is they can block up the tread a bit in wet clay. Nothing a bit of right boot wont fix:twisted: Doing this also fixes the drive line:eek:
Seriously it does depend what you use them for. With tyres there is always a compromise:(
At the price you mention just stick them on a second set of rims and only use them when going off road.

If used on the road you will burn them out in about 5000 ks , I ran tsl,s for a while they are noisey and because they are a rag tyre not steel belted they develop flat spots over night that take about 30 ks to return to normal and are very hard to balance:cool:

my vote is for the 35 claws as well, had them on my GQ and were awesome in the mud and pretty good on the road as well.
I picked up a second hand set, 5 of them with 15x8 cruiser rims for $900 and two of them were new, 2 at 80% and one at 50%...good buying I reckon.
They are $400 new down here..... :(
