OK I am torn between what tires to get.
I am down to three different tires, all in the same price range. TSL 36x12.5r15 TSL Q 78r15 lt Irok 36x13.5r15
All tires are Bias ply, all about the same price. the Iroks measure closer to 37" and the Q's measure a 35.5" while the tsl's are 36.3 What are some suggestions?
I won't be purchasing for another couple months so I am looking ahead.

to add, the rims they are going on are 15x8 so if I were to run teh Q's, I would probably have to look into a set of bead locks due to the tire being narrower?

I would say the Q's w/beadlocks, then IROC's...
But I dont know what I am talking about, so Todd who has probably ran all those tires and knows the trails they'd be used on, could tell you best.

i would get any of those. i guess given the choices, basically it comes down to width. if you want widfer tires go with iroks.
i am not a big fan of the irok after watching poor performance off-road on several occasions. it also seems as though the tread depth is not very deep?
tsl's are good tires, i got Qs cause i prefer a narrower tire. thats not to say a wider tire won't work as well i just prefer narrow.
basically i would buy waht you want, opinions on tires are WAY over rated.

I am leaning towards the tsl's, I need to get my axles in and see where the tires will sit. I have not heard anything about the traction of the iroks, I have heard that they wear twice as fast as the TSL's. Guess I just need to wait till I can get my stuff put back together.

i run q's on an 8 inch rim....they measure over 10" wide and 8" is an accepted rim width for them.

Yeah, you can run the Q's on an 8 in. rim. Id just go with the 36's personally, like Todd said, beteween them and Q's pretty much depends on width preference. I also was not really impressed with the performance of Iroks in NE wheeling, and the tread depth doesnt compare to a TSL.

I like SX', But I don't want a radial tire.
I was looking at the two, the side wall on the Q's is a 6 ply and the 36's are 8, so will get a little less of a side wall buldge. I think I will go with the 36" tsl's. Now I just need to get a set of 44044 springs, and some liberal cutting to get them to fit.

the sx's a bias ply in that size bullet proof tires and very heavy i ran them for 3 years best tire I've run yet (I've run the boggers, tsl, tsl radial, tsl-sx and iroc's ). i used to run them with like 5lbs on and off the street no bead locks and never slipped a bead. plus i think they look cool and that's what is most important

Well, I am wait to hear back from someone on a deal for allied bead locks, if he comes inat under $400 for 4, then I will buy them. I thought the sx was a radial, Tony runs 35x15.5 in 15x8 rims and the side walls barely buldge when wheeling.
I guess I am a buldge man

my 36"s didn't really bludge but they conformed around to what ever i was driving over. the fact that they didn't bludge gave you height
