Which one is going to last me longer? I'm looking at the STS 39.5" Bias ply or the 39.5" Irok Radial. I drive on the street a lot and i need something that will get decent mileage...

OOOOOOOO.... I want to know this too....

both will last longer than your half ton IFS with that size tire.....

STS will last longer, iroks are a very soft compound

ahahaha nahh i know a guy thats running the bulletproof 14" kit with a 4" CST spindle and a 3" body lift on a 2wd half ton and he doesn't have problems he has 42" TSL's. I should be fine

Irok's are very soft even the radials. Sts should outlast them becausethe have alot more tread surface hitting the ground.

ok, have fun. Not like Ive ever worked on trucks with big tires or have any clue what im talking about.

What about TSL's in the 35" size? How are they?

**Dark Eternal** · 03-24-2005, 02:23 PM

they dont make 35" radial TSLs, they make 36s though. You can get 25-30 out of them if you rotate and take care of them.

44" STS!!!!!! That's what you need. I can get you a bad ass deal on some slightly used ones. My buddy is selling his off of his 02 tahoe.

I believe you but what choice do i really have? I could stick with 37's like im running now but its a little small for the lift that i have. I could run a 38" and there would still be a lot of gap. a 39.5 will fill it in perfectly. a 38" is much wider and a lot heavier than my 37" tire and i think that would be just about the same as running the 39.5's. you think i should run 38" and have the wheel well gap or just keep 37's? or put the 39.5's on??
