to those who run bias ply tires

[76 explorer]

dont let your bronco sit for a couple months. %) my bronco hasnt been moved in a few months so i decided to drive it to work today. well after that 10 mile trip i think i need to go see a chiropractor because drive on square tires doesnt make for a very smooth ride :'(


more seriously dont forget to drive your broncos during the winter months!! they are people too and need to be shown you still love them ;D

on the bright side i pumped the gas once and she fired right up on the 1st revolution.

Yeah, most bias plys will flat spot overnight and take around 6-7mi to round out. More if its cold out. My Iroks are the exception though. They do not flat spot at all. Feel like a radial to tell you the truth.

Much better than the other swampers that are out there.

really? im actually looking at getting a set of iroks and was going to go with radials just because im tired of the traits that bias tires have. how do they balance? other than knowing you bought bias plys do you notice any of the normal bias issues? if they really act like a radial on the road i just may go with those instead of the bias ply.

also what width wheel are you running?

Balance? Well, they balanced great on my old 15x10 Baja wheels. But, I now run 15x10 Centerline Hellcats with Champion Beadlocks. Its been much more difficult to balance them. I can get them close with weights, but still know that they aren't balanced up front. Its more of an issue with the beadlocks than the tires. I am planning on using beebees or golfballs in the future to help.
