radials will drive much better and will last longer, if you are going to be street driving your truck, go with radials.

radial swampers aren't all they're cracked up to be. more expensive than the bias, and i've heard really bad things about them blowing sidewalls on the street. they don't last much longer than their bias cousins and are heavier too

i'd get bias...if you're gonna get a swamper, you might as well go all the way

radials put a bigger foot print on the ground than bias do

their is pro and cons to both of them i personally take radials i dont have much time to off road but i wouldnt mind havin a set of bias mounted on some other wheels then make local tire shop zip on the bias when goin muddin and then take them back and ask them to balance your wheels after muddin and they ll clean them up ha ha ha
