i actually didn't know they still made bias ply tires

We had some on a old chevy c10 mud truck me and a buddy bought for like 200 bucks that kinda ran, them tires actually fell apart and didn't even look that old when we got it had like chunks fall off the inside wall of tire, wouldn't truck on my road truck

There's actually a pretty good selection of Bias plys left on the market lol.

Let's buy a tire designed for maximum deflection and minimal stability that is known to shimmy and wobble at highway speeds then put it on an 8000lb truck with an 8" lift. What a shot show. I hope his whole steering system wobbles to pieces. He can save the $1200 from 2 years and buy half the parts he needs to rebuild it. I hate half assed shit. I'm sorry you are having to deal with a Mongoloid like him.

That helps but it doesn't fix the bias ply wobble!

I know about them. I've pulled a few tires apart and had them roll all over the fucking place.

Don't think they are going to help a bias ply with 10 inches of sidewall tho

get the radials.

unless hes going to use that thing like 90% of the "off-road" community seems to be doing and building mall crawlers and butt-ass-ugly "Cen-Cal" style trucks...

then he deserves to run those shit tires.

remind him that its not cheaper if he has to keep replacing the tires when they fail on him :bonk:
