I havent been on here for awhile forgot to mention they are Bias.

I didn't balance them and they ride so much better than my old SX's at every speed, and on the interstate they ride great.  I was also surprised they don't flat spot like the SX's either.   

I knew I was going to have to cut the firewall  and do the same amount of work to make the 38's fit so I figured what the hell.  I knew as soon as I bought the 38s I would have been kicking myself that I didn't get the 39.5's.  I also like the width of the Irok.

I will post up some wheeling picks if I ever get a chance to get out of town.

1985 toyota SR5, 22re,  5.29's locked front and rear, duals with twin stick, longfields.

I had 12.5 x38's on my old 85 (no pics) LOVED THEM, good on the road for what they were... Awesome every where else. Had them for about 2 years and they still had good tread when I sold the truck. But that was about 15 years ago, maybe a different compound used today......I had some 12.5 X 35 LTB's on the current Toy, they didn't last a year.....

How many highway miles were on the LTBs? Im thinking of getting some 40 14.5 17s for my buggy. At 4 wheel parts the 40s are cheaper then 38,5 xs.

I couldn't tell you how many miles. Odometer didn't work.....But I can tell you, I saw noticeable wear from going to Knoxville and back on a hot day, about 70 miles round trip....The LTB's were good off road...SUCKED on road and for wear....
