Let's hear some opinions about running bias tires on a dump truck, I found some made in 2017 full tread for cheap.

    Ran some tubeless on scrap haulers not many years ago. Some foreign tires had thick side walls and did well. Others had very thin side walls and did not.

    They generally have stronger sidewalls. Are you on gravel a lot? Go to the quarry often? Usually low speed on back roads? All three would favor bias ply tires. But for mostly freeway running, radials would save fuel.

    I don't run the freeway much. A lot of back roads and off road.

    What brand are they? Might be some that have used them or heard of them.
