Default How long will bias iroks last on the street?

I'm getting a new set of 39 13.50 15 iroks for my Cherokee. I had 33's before but I got way more lift now. Anyways I only drive about 30 miles a day on the street and I'm trying to get a mileage estimate

i hope you have full size axles swapped underneath that rig or the tires will be the last thing to wear out

bias tires arent really meant to run on the street. because they dont have radials they go out of balance pretty easy. this usually causes excessive wear.

you trust a 44 w/ 39s? daily driving will be fine but locked on the trail is a different story

Well I got a great deal on these iroks. I wish I would have spent a little more money for the radials but easy come easy go. I know that I didn't want buggers,the howl that boggers have on the street is cool for about five minutes.I could have got tsl's or anything else but I chose the iroks because I like the look and the price was good. I really wish they made Baja claws in a 40,but until then. I did the axle swap a while back but I intend on something stronger one day. I don't do alot of trail riding,no rocks at all. Just mostly trails with some steep hills now and then and mud. I know iroks don't do to well in the mud and I've heard bad things about the sidewalls,but like I said for the price I'm not complaining. I'm working on pics right now and will post soon.

Oh while I'm thinking about it occasionally I have death wobble after hitting a big bump in the road and it does that with 33's. Now wit that being said I'm not running a steering stabilizer even though I'm about to install one. My tires have been balanced recently,my alignment is in I have personally checked it at the shop I work at,I have checked all steering joints for looseness,everything is tight. The steering box has no slack,the track bar is tight,and I have double and triple checked the length on my adjustable control arms. I can't find a reason for it to happen other than not having a stabilizer. I want to resolve this before I put on these 40's. Any suggestions on something I may be missing?
