Radial Iroks

Paulie · Dec 1, 2006

how well are they both on street and on trail. looking at getting 39s if they will do the job.

From what I have seen radial iroks have some pretty weak sidewalls. Keep em on the road and you are ok, leave the pavement and its all over.

Didn't Robin rip two radial Irok sidewalls in one trip? Granted he is pretty hard on them, but he's also been hard on his bias 49's and had no issues as far as I remember.

Ask Brad (Trailtoy1993) about that, he slashed his sidewall on his RTI ramp.:haha:

$1500 worth of tires and wheeled 4 trips. Total of 6 holes in sidewalls

Radial Iroks Suck!

Why radials?? I've got 38.5x14.50tsl/sx with weld on beadlocks on my jeep And i drive to and from the trails no problems at all i can do 60mph down the freeway with no vibes or nothing... If you want radial go with MTR or something

radial Iroks make good sprinklers on a hot day though

If you drive like a normal human, they are fine. Deeper tread to start and no vibrations on the road. I have about 700 miles on mine including all the normal trails around here, the Fordyce, Rubicon twice, Barrett Lake trail and they are fine.

Best snow tire there is. Hands down.

I agree, buy my MTR's. They drive nice and smooth. Perfect for a big-tire DD.

He didnt do anything a normal wheeler would do while wheeling from what I saw. Radial IROKS have very weak sidewalls, if you want an IROK to last bias ply is the only way to go. I put my 39 Bias Irock sidewalls thru hell for 2 years at 83 inches wide rubbing everything in their path with No Failures. Robin didnt even make it a complete day of wheeling at Funny/Moon, as if I remember right he left with 3 out of 4 tires puking air/water. He hasnt been the only one to experience sidewall issues with radials(IROKs) either as I have seen more than a few failures on the trail.

Wow, I decided to go with bias simply because they were cheaper and I like the size better. I figured I was compromising because I do street drive the truck to the trail, but the more I hear from people with the radial Iroks, the more they seem to hate them, lol.

I've been running Irok radials this year and zero problems... so far so good even aired down to 6psi.

Stokes · Dec 6, 2006

id get a set of radial iroks with the discount tire warrenty long before id run MTR's but thats just my opinon, when ever i have seen MTR's in action they have never impressed me.
