quick tire question
ok, to start off I recently purchased a 97 Dodge ram 5.9l reg cab short bed... got it for $3000 because the previous owner hit a light pole which jacked up the driver fender, driver headlight and also caused the airbag to deploy. The truck blue books for around 7grand in decent condition I personally think I got a good deal.
ANyways to my question, the truck has a 4 inch black diamond lift kit with 265/75/r16's, the rubbers need replacing so I am looking for a new set of tires, could I purchase 33x10.5x16 tires and get away with it?? and which super swamper tire is recomended, I love the look of the bogger but I don't do a ton of offroad so I think a different tire would be better for my use... thanks Dan

RE: quick tire question
a 4 inch lift should easily fit 33s. especially 10.5 (wide)
as far as a super swamper, why spend that much money if you dont wheel much? if your set on super swampers, i think thier TSL looks the best
but you can get a much cheaper mud tire than that, IIRC thier about 250 a pop for a 33/12.5/15, and sometimes 16s are a little more[&:]
