Default Lost in tires.

I have been looking for tire opinions as I am so lost on what to do. I have been saving my money to buy a set of 35's. I have been looking at bias ply and radial. I am not sure if I should just save the money and get bias ply as they look like the tire to own.. I'm running a stock tj with a genright hi-tube fender kit. It will fit the 35's. I know if I go bias I will need bead locks which I'm good with as I would like to go bigger as it gets built up. Any input. It is not my daily driver so I do not need reduced road noise.


Help

If it doesn't see pavement and it is pretty much a dedicated trail machine go with bead locks and bias ply tires. But remember when winter comes bias ply tires generally suck on snow/ice.

Here's a site I have put on many times to give you a description/review/sizes/brands of the tires for offroading and street use. It may help you in deciding the best tires for your situation.

It's a great site but some of the info is outdated like tire sizes available.

Did you think may be to contact the brand company your interested in with an email or phone call and ask them?

It was more the bias ply or radial tire I was trying to decided. With all the input I have made a decission to buy a set of ---- cepek mud country to start. Then start to save for the bead locks and bias ply. Thank you for all your input and I will take any more ideas if you have them.
