Im thinking about buying some 36.12.50's for my TJ and i was just wondering hows the Bias TSL's were and if anyone else was running them and how they were on differnent types of terrain?

IMO if you go Bias you might as well go SX or Boggers

congrats for posting this over here. your attitude and following of directions warrants an answer.
even though your tj is "rckready" by asking this question i assume you drive it 95% of the time on the road? no offence by this, we just need to know some specifics.
what kind of steering do you have setup?
where do you live? weather? what percentage of this is offroad? do you drive to the trail?
a biased tire is NOT going to ride like a radial on the road. i would spring the extra $80 and get the radial tsl's. just my .02
but we really do need more info to answer correctly.

i'm running the exact tires on my XJ. they are definately not street worthy. i have to run at least 40 psi in them to get rid of death wobble. i've only run them a few times on the trail so far (rocks, dirt, mud) and have been very please with them compared to my old 35" BFG MT's

Its on my 2002 TJ. I'm running the '6' Rocky Ready LA with Currie steering and and locked 8.8 in the rear. Im running 35' bfg all terrains on the road, but was looking for a set of seperate wheels and tires for when i go wheeling. I've got a buddy that is selling a set of 36' bias tsl's so i was just wondering if anyone else had been running these. The only time they would be driven on the road is maybe to and from the trails if that cause it will usually be trailered. Also, i am located in Roswell, GA but currently go to Auburn University in Auburn, AL. The jeep gets wheeled about once or twice a month and we run Tellico a couple times a year.

Ran these tires for two years....excellent for wheeling, drive well enough on the road to get you to the trail, but bad for a daily driver....heavy tires, but the real benefit is the sidewall, which I think is 8 or 10 ply.....I loved these tires, trough, rugged, good in mud and rocks.....if you get a good deal for just trail tires, go for it....if I took it on the road, I could go 70, but it was a little rough....

No matter the terrain I don't think you will be let down by the TSL's, when you take driving on the street out of the equation they are the true all terrain

X2, going to some 38x12.50's soon. by the way do you have a detroit in that 8.8? and are you still running the 30 up front? reason i ask is because i grenaded an 8.8 carrier and have taken out too many 30 parts to count running only 35's. this is with a 4 banger and a granny low... anyway just food for thought. im still not sure why my carrier went but i think it had something to do with the douchebag that set up my gears before i bought the axle didnt put loctite on the bolts because there were about 5 of them in the bottom and 3 sheered off in the ring gear.

You might also want to look at the Q78, its a really cool tire i think, it has 3/32 more tread depth and is about an half an inch skinnier. the Q78 measures out to 35.5 inches tall according to intercos website which is about .7 shorter than the 36x12.50. its pretty much a big 35 but i saw them on a cj5 and really liked them and was set on them until i decided i needed bigger
