Allright, thanks. It will be my daily driver/play truck so i guess i'll probably stick with the radial TSL's next, i had just heard so many good things about the bias hawgs wear.

i have the 35x13.50 bias ply hawgs and i love them...about 1500 miles and no visible wear yet?

what the hell did you do to those tires to kill them in 8000 miles? i asked half dozen people obout them bias ply hawgs and not one said they got less than 30,000 miles out of them...and the guy who said 30,000 also said "many smoke burnouts included!"

my truck is DD and offroad, about 50 mile commute 5 days a week plus a bunch of runnin around town ... right now my t-case chain is F'd so its more of a DD at the moment but even though the tires are bias i love em even on the highway, they wander a bit but not terrible, and i got ine studded and when the roads are solid ice and drifted in most people are doin 40 MPH i can easily hold 55-60 MPH...

havent had them in the mud yet but in the snow they are freakin awesome!

I've never seen a roof sail like the one on this truck.

1985 F350 4x4 4 door dually, raised roof, stacks, 460 200,000 miles, in bed gas tank, air horns, 3 pairs extra lights, flat black paint, bottom body line is bed-lined, boat trim. Lots of little customization- but needs a little work. Not bad for $1400.

That's one beautiful truck man! As you'll see I'm a bit biased though, here's my 96...

I love your truck man. She looks GREAT. I wouldn't do a thing to her.

I like your sig, too.

Hey guys, I got a new seat cover! I decided to treat Ole' Betsy.. She's been abused lately. She has to stay in the ice, snow and mud while we have no cover for the vehicles. I decided to buy her a little gift to show my appreciation.
