Default super swamper irok bias tires

I was wondering if anyone knew why Super Swamper IROK Bias tires are much cheaper than most other brands/models. Does anyone know anything about these tires?

thanks.

I believe bias ply tires are softer and wear a lot faster than radial tires. More for off roading not for street wear.

the bias tires are softer if you had the radial irok and bias side by side the radial will have a flat crown. so the foot print or traction is better (larger square) than a bias which would have a smaller round foot print and the crown is rounded . so with that the radial will have better road mannerisms and will have a higer load capacity than the bias. the bias with the rounded crown will have a little more wondering on the road. Bias if left to sit for long periods of time will flat spot.

I have ran bot of the iroks in radial and bias.. the bias are not bad..
