If they are new air them down way low to break in the sidewalls and they will pack up in mud but a little extra pedal and they clean out pretty good.

Ya they are new. I'm running 20 psi right now. I'll air done to like 8 or 10 psi on trails. We used a butt load of bead glue and they are on a 10 wide rim. 8 should be ok right ?

I haven't been able to run a set of these yet but I'm wanting to! When my 34s are worn I am planning on running a set of the 35x 12.50x 15 radials. The reason for wanting a radial is that the bias tires are to wide for me.
I have seen them on others vehicles and have a friend that runs them in rocks and SWEARS by them. Once they break in they are awesome tires! Very sticky!

Very excited to try them. They are wide sob s. Hope the Dana 30 can hold up being locked. I'm running aussie front and rear. Should be good. Mine are bias and still have the nips n them. I only have maybe 20 miles on them. At 10 psi I couldn't even tell i lowered psi. Side wall must be thick lol

Yeah, they will take a while to break in on the sidewalls. After some miles and a couple times through the rocks my friends broke in and flexed great over the rocks. Please, the first chance you get through up some pics and tell us how you like them! I just wish they made a 35x 12.50 in the bias. I've only bought Swampers and would like to stay w/ them but the PB Rocker radial keeps calling my name!

Jeepin, If you want them to do good on the rocks you'll need to break in the sidewalls. I usually run my bias ply tires at 10-12 on the road for awhile to get them to heat up and start flexing. On my CJ2A I had to run them down to 6 PSI because it only weighs about 2000 lbs and will only go about 45mph so it took longer to break them in, but now they do a good job in the rocks and on the trails.
