33x12.5 on 8x15 wheels. Tires are Marshal (Kumho) Powerguard MT's an wheels are Mangels steelies. The tires are a quite sharp deal for the price (90$ea.) compared to BFG's and act pretty good on- and off-road. Would I buy them again? Yes! BUT in another size like 255/85x16 or 33x10.5

31X10.50 BFG All Terrain ko's mounted on 15X8 wheels. They are really good on the road and good for everything off-road except for really thick mud and clay.

35/14.50/15 Thornbirds. Big, wornout, and ****ty in mud. Wander like hell. The quietest of the swampers, and the most long lasting. ONLY for looks, not for off-road performance.

 

i guess there is only three people on this board with tires.j/k just got my rims and i'm trying to decide what kind of tires to run. i'm not really concerned with what size just brand and how well they do.

If you see more road than mud, I would suggest either the BFG A/T or the Yokohama Geolandar A/T.

I have heard nothing but good about the yoko's, plus they are quite a bit cheaper than the BFG's.

my truck is not a daily driver. i just drive it on the weekends. i'm looking for a good mud tire.

/wwwthreads_images/icons/cool.gifyou can't polish a turd/wwwthreads_images/icons/cool.gif

 

how about a Mud King? Thats what I'm looking at, even though I drive it all the time. I NEED a good tire, not a little AT.

What about the General Grabber M/T those are pretty good as long as they don't see alot of road use.

I am running Bridgestone M/T's that I have been very happy with (that's all I have ever run on my truck but, these are the first M/T's)
I have gotten pretty decent mileage out of them and they are not much noisier then the A/T's that proceeded them.
Have worked well off-road and in truth see much more rock and loose dirt than mud.

Ummmm Beer!

 

My personal Daily-Driver / off-road ratings ( Tires I've used )

MTR's - Lov'em
MT's - Good
BFG MT's - Sucked
Swamper TSL's - Loved'em
BigFoot MT's - SUCKED
General M/T's - Good

I may grow old, but I'll NEVER, grow up

 

Cooper Discoverer STT... Similar to the old style BFG M/T... I've got about 10k on mine and they still look new, no noticable wear at all... /wwwthreads_images/icons/crazy.gif Work well in sand, snow and the little mud I've had 'em in...

I was looking at General Grabbers, but after calling around was told many owners come back to the dealers w/ split sidewalls. I found some BFG A/T 235/7515 for 330 mounted, balanced, free rotations as long as I own them. Not quite a mud tire, but a good price...

I used to run:

Good Year Wranglers A/T = puajj
General Grabber MT's = Nice ones but lasted 20.000 miles
Cooper Discoverer STT's = great tires, big longevity
National tires = Good deals, great all around ones
BFG A/Ts = good allaround tires, wear very slow, good for sand and gravel road, bad for extreme mud, nice on rocks.

I run Kumho venture mt's on my truck and pathfinderand they are a great tire. Plus for $400 for the whole set plus free rotates and flat repair and road hazard they can't be beat.

thanks for all the input guys after pricing a few different tires i decided to go with a wild country. i have another problem i bought 11.5"x15" rims how wide of a tire will i have to get to fit. i don't want to go taller than a 32".

Another vote for Cooper STT's

 

For those running the coopers! Do you have a lot of rocky terrain in your area? Just curious since I've heard nothing but horror stories about there weak sidewalls in my area. They seem to plit on shale etc, very easily. I've never run them personally, but have seen them or should I say what was left of them a number of times from others.

I may grow old, but I'll NEVER, grow up

 

Mine doesnt see any hardcore wheeling action but i do some local trails with a lot of creek bed type stuff, actually one trail is about 80% creek bed with lots of sharp ledges. I have a lot of scars on my sidewalls but no punctures yet. I am sure they are not as tough as BFG and Swamper sidewalls but they do great in mud, last a long time, and are not overpriced

 

I don't have any rocks to play in, but I do have mud (with roots, stumps, etc buried in it) and sand dunes, and I have no problems with the sidewalls, at least not yet..

I know the local tire guy here. I talked to hima while back and he said "what are you looking for?" I said "Muds". He said "Got em, tell me when you want em." I don't know what he has in mind but he runs something on his 2wd Chevy and I've never seen him stuck.

You will have to work hard to fit anything over a 30" tire alarman depending on your lift. In particular the 11.5" wide rims will make this even harder. Personally if you can I would trade them in on max 8" wide rims. The rear edge of the front fender plus the cab are hard to get around. I have removed my inner plastic fender liner and pounded the seam of the cab back with a sledge hammer to fit 31" tires on 7" toyota fourrunner wheels. THis is with a 3" body and 2" suspension lift(cranked up tortion bars). I ran 33x9.50 for a short time on similar rims and under light off road conditions they rubbed very baddly. The 720 is definitely a pain in the ass to mount larger tires without changing the cab below the door hinge.

I used to run the Wild Country TXR's on my Nissan KC and I loved them. They were good on the highway and didn't turn into a wimpy tire offroad. I plan on going back to them on my Jeep after my Bridgestone Duelers M/T's goe south. (awesome tire the Dueler, just want more milaege as I have less time to wheel)

If it ain't broke,let me drive it!

Hmmmmm, I wonder if cooper has re-contructed them over the past couple years? As for BFG sidewalls....don't hold your breath, they ain't all their cracked up to be. However in saying that, has anyone tried a set of BFG's new M/T's???

I may grow old, but I'll NEVER, grow up

 

Chris may not like BFG's but I had them on for about 18,000 miles and they
still had tread and lots of nicks and what not on the side. for my new 4x4 I'm
going with 33 tsl's because of the price.

 

11.5"!?!?!?!!?!?!!?! WHOLLY CRAP!

You would need to mount a 12.5" wide tire MINIMUM to keep them from walking off the bead seat. Definately get some narrower rims. 8" will be more than enough depending on tire width.
