Radials have steel in them, bias do not.

I have bias Super Swamper brand tires on my black H2. They are junk for my application. The H2 has more sway with the bias tires it is the only pruchase I have ever regretted.

The problem I face with lifted H2's is that the big tires 44's, etc do not come in steel belted radials and the wheel size is small, usually 16-16.5. They do make a 49-20 but that is a big fu..ing tire.

If you are in MD, you should come up and visit my shop. I can give you more info than you would ever need on tires, wheels, backspacing, lifts, power, etc.
