Scott in Bellingham Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Ive got $700 to buy new offroad tires in the 33-34" range, would like your suggestions , its going on a T-cased Subbie with a little flex, Ive been lookin at the Swampers , what would you get the narrow one or the wide one, or maybe even a different tire altogether ???? what would be the avantage or disadvantage of wider or narrow?? , also these are bias LTB 34x10.50-15LT TSL 34x9.50-15LT TSL 33x12.50-15LT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brat Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 What about boggers? I have had super good luck with Cooper SST's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brat Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 http://www.ntwonline.com/MTX_-_WILD_COUNTRY_RADIAL_P17022C1319.cfm These look pretty good and are really cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one eye Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 If you dont want to spend a years earnings on tires, I would just go with the Maxxis Bighorns, at least you could have a place where you could get them fast if somthing happens................

SoobieDoo Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 If the cost isn't an issue...SSR's rule. You know I'm a big fan of pizza cutters, so my vote's for the narrow SS. http://forums.jpmagazine.com/70/805489/jeep-tires/mud-tires-stay-away-from-narrow/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obk25xt Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 My $0.02 would be to go with something narrow. My experience is that they do better in the nw woodsy type wheelin. As far as cost goes, check out jc whitney, I just bought a set of four 29x8.5x15 ss tsl delivered to my porch for $371.00, that's the best price I could find anywhere. Schwabs wanted like 120 bucks a piece for them. Also, if you do get em from jcw they have promos and online coupons too so be thorough. I ordered mine with a 20% off online coupon. Good luck tire hunting! Ps, super swampers are made in the USA which I didn't know till I got em but it made me smile, I like buying domestic goods. Even though I don't own any domestic vehicles, even though my outback was assembled in Indiana. Anyhow..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breeke Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Those 34-9.50's are some super tires...First hand exp. on that Scott. Kick rump roast traction. Good tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Subi4x4 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 TSL 34x9.50-15LT For the win! great tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I am sold on Swampers! I have seen them do amazing things and still hold air. Things most tires would have shredded themselfs on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in Bellingham Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 My experience with narrow tires is that they blow beads too often. I would totally steer away from the skinny bias ply swampers. Qman blew two beads at once one time out. I've sported some on my Subarus, and a set of 32/9.50s on my truck. I had nothing but problems with the beads keeping a seal on the truck. I moved up to 33/12.50. 700 probably won't buy you a new set of 33s. . . http://www.4wheelparts.com/TT111X11116X1111612X158.aspx 32/9.50 tsl http://www.4wheelparts.com/TT110X11014X1101412X158.aspx Tall skinny BFGs. . . http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=Mud-Terrain+T%2FA+KM2&partnum=305QR5KM2RWLV2&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes But, with that much money, I would just watch craigslist and score something. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pts/1595537071.html http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pts/1589520091.html (maybe negociate the wheels out of the price) NWWheelers board http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48982 Some bighorns and a # to call even. http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45924 Also. Your car will have a transfer case to push BIG tires. But will your front axles be beefy enough to not just explode when you're out wheeling? Are 33s necessary? Can you get away with a 31/10.50? thanks Zap I picked up the 33-12.5 swamps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
