Radial TSL

I have a set in 32x10.5 and had two tires develop bubbles in the sidewall within the first 5K miles. Balancing was a pain in the rear. I no longer use these tires daily, just for when I go offroad.
 
I have 33X12.50 on my dd i love them, will never own a different tire, fine on road little scary in the rain, but awesome offroad. Ive had mine for 5-6 months i live in indianapolis for school right now and drive home to st. louis a little over 300 miles probably once a month and they still have great tread on them. As for the sidewall thing i have a gash in one of my sidewalls from cutting my fenders and they have held up. And as for bias i had thwornbirds, hated them wouldnt balanced ridiculous wear and horrible ride. Only complaint about tsl radials are my 12.50s look skinny i measured them and ther like 11.5 so you might want to go wider when you order them.
 
I'm on my seconed set of 32x10.50's on this set I've learned my lesson about rotation and I'm at about 20k and they are holding up well. I think the only shortcoming is the performance in rain. I have siped the current set and it has made a big difference, also I think it may have helped the wear. I like the sidewall strength and run them as low as 10psi when on the trail. I think it would be tuff to find a tire that is Ok on road but is as good off. It is a loud tire and they are tuff to balance sometimes. Yes other tires are better on road but I don't think any of those are as good off road. So you have to decide what's more important.
