39.5 iroks RADIALS?!?

Hello, i have a chance to get a set of 39.5 irok radials with 80-90% tread for a really good price. now my question is....How do the radials compare to the bias? need some fast answers so anyones opinion would be awesome.

by the way, they are going onto a 87 4runner thats SASed with wielded rear aussie locked front with some 30 spline longfields.

Thanks

Mike

they wont have as good off road traction still really good though, just not as good as the bias ply, but on road manners will greatly improve.

I hate Irok's, bias or radials. But that's MY opinion though. They crown really bad in the center no matter what size or psi. And the dont wear at all. Ive had 2 friends buy them, 38's & 39's. And they ended up hating them with a passion. And ive heard about other bad comments eles where too. If its a 100% trailer queen then you may be alright, for awhile. If not run away. But hey, its jusy MY opinion, lol...

Radials are not going to be as soft as the bias ply and I guess aimed at being more on-road friednly.
Iroks IMO are trailer queen only tires, thus radials are pointless, that are going to flat spot if you don't get them off the concrete when not in use.
Do they hook up on rocks like mad...yes!
