I have never been an IROK fan since their conception, but I may have to give them a try since they come recommended by so many of you here. BUT, I would like to hear some first hand experience between their two constructions. I am looking at the 36 x 13.50's and I see the Bias dimensions are just under 37 while the Radials are a solid 36. I do not run much on the highway and am leaning towards the Bias. Any comments or suggestions?

A few replies a couple of posts down..
I have the bias and love them. I have had tsl's, Sx's, and BFG's. Nothing is even close to the stickyness of te irok. THe lug design works very well in all terrain as well. THe carcass is very soft and conforms to obsticals better than can be imagined. I would get the Radial simply for better drivability and longevity...“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.” TJ -

So why would you get the Radial next time exactly? Just for the highway manners?
Aren't you supposed to get better traction and durability out of the Bias?Comment

you might better traction on a minimal basis but you will get way more benifits in the long run with the radials. My Iroks are ok on the road but leave a lot to be disired.“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.” TJComment

I was told the bias have stronger sidewalls so they are better for the rocks. FM72EB, one-ton fab project that will never end

Buddy of mine runs the 35 x 15.50 SX and it works great, but a lot of guys on here said that the IROK works better...? I WAS going to get the SX's myself.Originally posted by 69crawlerComment

SX's are definitely bad ass. If you get them just plan on buying a tire groover and cutting the crap out of them to loosen them up. These tires are so tough you won't need a spare...well maybe not that tough. I never had an issue other than being way too stiff especially inthe snow. With beadlocks, the inner bead was continually popping off because of the super stiff sidewall...“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.” TJComment

I'm still waiting to get my IROKS off my driveway and onto the dirt. The sidewalls are 6 ply polyester compared to the SX's 4 ply nylon , but with the SX having the heavy tread wrapping the sidewall it may be less prone to flex and punctures. I'll be abusing my SX's again this weekend at Fordyce.67 Bronco blue - LS 6.0, 6l90, & atlas (working on it)
