I've got an 86 Toyota that will primarily be used as my wheelin rig but will also be used as a "3rd" vehicle. I don't plan on driving on the road all the time, but it will have it's uses for me on road. Once I get the SAS done, I am either going to run 35's, 36's, or 37's depending on the tire I decide on. I also plan on driving my vehicle to and from the wheelin location.
I have heard that bias ply tires are far better for offroad driving than radials, but from what I have heard about their handling onroad concerns me. The radial tires I am interested in is the Cooper SST (SSC? cannot remember letters), BF Goodrich MT MK2, Super Swamper SSR, or Mickey Thompson MTZ. All those tires have 3-ply sidewalls and anywhere between 6 and 8-ply treads. I don't know much about the different bias ply tires out there so I am not even sure which ones besides TSL's are good tires.
What I am looking for is a tire that will give pretty good on-road characteristics as well as optimal offroad handling. Let me know what you think.
