Why wouldnt you want a radial? Bias is old, wears funny, wears fast, doesn't stay balanced, floats on the highway, heats up..etc on and on....

33" tires are going to cost you anywhere from $600-1200 depending on your style needed.

No Goodyear? How come? I'm asking because i've been eyeing the Wrangler Silent Armor's for my Ram...


And OP, 33's are gonna cost you. I know its already been said but i'm also pricing out tires for my 1500 and its easily gonna be around $1000...

Lmao.
Well, Swampers are out then. Lol.
Other than old school rods and mud trucks, nobody runs Bias.

What the he'll do you mean you don't like the looks of radial tire?
99% of what's on the road is Radial.
I'm betting you couldn't spot a Bias either way.
My gawd man.

So you prefer the morning thumping, the bad handling, the less safety etc etc of a Bias?

Have fun with that. Bias are easy to find. Go to a tire shop and order a set.

They're all going to laugh at you and take your money.

Holy Fxxx.

The only benefit mentioned for Bias ply tires is the strength in the sidewalls. The cheaper cost is outrun by the fast wear, bad handling, safety concerns..etc
If you ever drove a 6,000lb truck with Bias tires, you would not want them. Truck will wander all over the road, slide around turns in bad weather and wear the shoulder out within 10kmi because the whole tire folds over.
