    yes the do have a radial but right now they are out of production due to them moving factory locations. I need tires right now for my jeep and dont want to wait till they are back in production which could be several months.

    indeed they do, and i ran a set prior to my ltbs. however, i don't like their off-road performance as much as the ltb. thinner sidewalls, not as much traction in wet rocks, can't air down as low without beadlocks.

    that said, the street performance (of the radial) isn't significantly better than the ltb, although they will last for more mileage (15K for the ltb, 25K for the radial swamper [33x10.5x15]).

    Too bad you dont live in California, I would sell you my set. I am putting mine up for sale in a couple weeks. Going to the 35" KM2's mainly because i have 3 almost brand new spares of different make and I need a 35. I really like my tires and like stated, they have a real stiff sidewall. I deflated mine in the drive way down to 7 psi and it was difficult to tell a different between that tire and the other front which still had 32 psi in it. Good tire, but really soft. They will cut and chip the tread fairly easy while on the trail.
