what size are they?

what other mods do you have?

And what does your driving consist of? (pavement vs. mud/off-road ;etc.)

hello,the tires are 37-12.50x15,i drive normal on these tires due to there size,i do go off-roading ever now and then,the tires are just at 5 years old,this is my second pair,the first pair started getting air bubbles on the sidewalls after 3000 miles,i called super swampers business and i had to send them back,they chacked them out and told me they had a heat mold that was not working properly and talked me in to this set of irok's,i am a mechanic and take good care of my vehicles,i keep the air pressure checked and rotate these tires every 2000 miles,it is not dry rot,they dont have any weather cracks,and still have 10/32 of thread,i have had 3 mid seventy power wagons with lift kits and i have a 1968 3/4 ton power wagon with 40" ground hawgs that are atleast 12 yrs.old,they dont have much thread on them but they still hold air,i have had many different brands of mud tires and they did'nt have this problem.they just wore out after along time,this truck has an 8" lift kit,5.9 liter with a cam,over size valves,slightly ported heads,52 mm t.b.and torque spacer,mopar computer,and stout lower end thats balanced,it is a go getter,im thinking about tubes for the tires till they wear down more,and then a new set of tires,BUT not from super swamper. thanks

If you are a mechanic then why in the hell did you put a throttle body spacer on your truck?
