power means nothing for wet roads, also you will want to get a bias ply on the front of that truck those stock radials and rear bias ply wont go so well together

tires also arent the best hooking tire, they are a tire to look cool for older cars

Those Sportsman Pros hooked really well for my buddy's dad with his 67' Camaro and 402BBC. Highway pulls weren't too bad.

They are a tire that fills a narrowed rear end gap, along with being tall enough to not turn a ton of rpms.
Yep they like to move under sharp turns so i am going to pay close attention to it. The truck doesnt get driven super hard anymore, its just a cruiser. It doesn't spin from a dig so it's ok as of now.

My next set of tires will be the sportman S/Rs. Hell i've spent the money on these so i'll just run em dead then try the S/R anyways. I don't want to put a low pro nor a full DR on my truck

Could you pull anything with those things being bias? If I can't drag my boat, I don't want 'em

I doubt it buddy, but i dont pull anything with it. I have another truck that puts in work. This is just my weekend toy

I did romp on it pretty hard last night. Truck rolls to the right rear a tad more than it use to but goes. Need to look into the Hoosier Pro Streets next time. I believe those are a radial
