Bias ply tire and interco TSL questions

[dat1truk]

Okay so since i just bought tires for my ford and they are highway tread tires and i have always wanted an aggressive tire on one of my trucks. I was wondering how these http://www.intercotire.com/tires.php?id=8&g=1 would work on my 95 k2500. I am interested in the 9/34-16lt. The truck is currently cranked a bit not quite level but close and should clear these on stock nbs hd alloy wheels. my question is does anybody daily bias ply tires? i drive 10-20 miles a day in town and drive this truck 200-250 miles round trip to my parents a couple times a year, so about 5-6K a year, and would like to know how long the flat spots stay on them or if they even do flat spot. Also how many miles have you gotten out of a set of these tires balanced and properly aligned. I do offroad a bit and it probably doesn't justify a set of tires like this but they look awesome and im not driving the truck very many miles far just everyday lol.

ill upload a pic of it tomorrow.

Thank you

Flat spots last till them warm up and smooth out. They will not last long like 20k. Daily drove boggers for a while and that lasted about 22k. You will get worse gas milage because how soft they are.

I've had two sets of the bias TSL's on my Blazer (by no means a daily driver). I don't think the flat spots are that bad if I have the tires pumped up to street pressure. If they are down in the 10 psi trail pressure range and it's cold out they bounce pretty good but usually smooth out within a mile or so.

For mileage, I would say 20k max if you took care of them on a fullsize truck and they would be drag slicks. A guy in our club had a set on a 4-banger Jeep (a lot lighter) and they were pretty much gone at 15k, at least worn down enough they weren't much good in the mud.
