Finally got new tires...
Finally settled on
Interco Super Swamper TrXus M/Ts 285/75 R16
http://www.truckaddons.com/Catalog/s...MudTerrain.htm
I was gonna get SSRs but they only had 3 of them in stock, and I'd pretty much smoked my tires down to the bands on the way there lol, so I settled on these and I don't regret it. They're 10 ply.They ride super smooth on the road, they're quiet. I've yet to try them offroad but I'll get around to that this weekend. It doesn't look like I'll have any problems though, they look way more agressive than a BFG mud terrain or discoverer STTs or anything like that. Anybody else have these? anything I should look out for?
What air pressure should I keep in them for highway driving. There's about 38 psi in them all right now.
The first 2 are my old Kelly Safari AWRS.

ORIGINAL: flintspirit
got a set of 33.12.50.15m/t's on mine and I love em great in snow and awsome in mud watch out though cuz with extra traction comes extra breakage and the 44 front axle is crap!

I'm actually playing with the idea of getting some Dana 60swith4.88 gearson there (woulnd't it really be cool if they already had lockers?). The 3.55s are okay now but they're not going to cut it with anything bigger. I'm just not surehow much I have to change the suspension for the bigger axels, and I wanna put asuspension lift on it too, so I'm thinking I'll do it at the same time so I don't have to work around**** later. My stock rims probably won't work too great for any tires bigger than this so it seems like a good project to do all at once.

Drop the air pressure! They ride and wear so much better. I have 35's and I run 28 lbs in the front and 25 lbs in the rear. Also, rotate them AT LEAST every 3k miles. They'll last you at least 40k if you take care of them./quote]
Really? I'm hows that kind of pressure on the highway? I usually airdown offroad anyways (well more like 12 PSI) unless I'm getting by without it but I'm hesitant to run them on the street like that. I'll give it a try though. 40k would be great. I'd be happy to get 30k.
Thanks for the compliments everyone

I'm on a streetlock (simulated beadlock) wheels and have never run more than 30 lbs in mine. I think they are a 9" wide wheel. No problems. You can see the wear pattern pretty easy on these tires so if you're not getting a full contact patch, drop some air. If you're running a wider wheel, it might change but running 38 lbs seems way high unless you haul heavy loads. They'll ride hard and only wear the centers with that kind of pressure.
