bought new groundhawgs
ill be gettin them next friday for my 96 f150. they are the radials 32x11.5x15. just wondering if anyone could tell me how they would wear on my truck, since its not a jeep, nor a 5500lb+ tank of a truck. and if any of you cant figure out who ACTUALLY makes the ground hawg since interco had to put their name in there, i cleared this issue up. i emailed interco and they said that denman still makes them. so im hoping to get their legendary "ironlike" wear

I thought Denman went out of business long ago. Who did you get them from ? I haven't seen them advertised anywehere. Do they have the same old tread pattern ? The old bias ones were junk, wore uneven and talk about out of round. They would shake the front end apart.

none of those problems with my bias plys...little vibration occasionally when theyre cold...but theyre bias plys...
and everyone i talked to about the bias hawgs said 35000+ miles...im good with that...probably double or triple what a booger would see
i can only imagine your radials will last longer on the highway though...
i know interco owns the hawgs...i thought they were making them too now? i too thought denman died a long time ago...thats why interco got the ground hawg in the first place i believe...unless interco saved denmans *** LOL

maybe thats why it took me 2.5 months to get my hawgs...
i dont see why everyone thinks these and intercos tires are so horrible
their tires an the hawgs are designed for offroad use, the rubber is incredibly soft for that reason, thats why they tend to suck on the hiway...theres nothing wrong with their rubber, just some people seem to think their tires are designed for hiway use too, they defiantely are not haha
recently they have been trying to improve hiway driveability though

cause i heard bout the mileage, and i only put on about 7-8k miles a year. so i should at least see 4 years out of these tires, considering my ssr's have lasted 3 and still have decent life, they just ride like **** now lol
