they look great oleyelr one question tho you said they ride weird some times.
Are they byias ply nylon belted or radial steel belted?
i remember when my dad had his old k5 blazer and had bias ply nylon belts they road weird untill they got hot.
the reason was they would flat spot while sitting over night while cooling off

Thanks yankee!
The sidewall actually says radial on it somewhere, I did see that the other day. But yeah, they totally act like a bias ply to me. After it sits for a while it feels like they get flats spots, and until I drive for a bit it really shakes. And its not even cold out yet... I cant wait till this winter!

Nice Tires
Ok I really like these tires and have some questions about them. Are they always available to you? Do they have 35x16's? Where exactly are they located? I don't need new tires, but for that price I would buy them and let them set till I needed new ones. Thanks for the info.
They look awesome on your truck!!! And I love half ton short bed regular cab trucks, I think they just look right/ awesome.

I just happen to know a guy who is a friend of a guy who races the off road trucks (not sure exactly what class), and when he goes to the races he usually brings a set or two home with him.
I am located in northern MI (as is the guy I get them from), but I am sure these tires can be had at just about any race around.
The size I have is a 35x12.5x17. I'm not sure about other available sizes with this style tire. The guy I got them from said he was probably gonna grab some MTR's at some point too off a truck from a different class, which are for a 16" rim.
The ones I have are not the best on road tires. The MTR's would be quite nice.
