I am going to start modding my jeep soon and I want to run a super swamper tire because they make very aggressive smaller truck tires. Just curious if anyone is running them so I could see what they look like on the kk |

Not sure yet I haven't decided on what lift I'm going to buy. I know they make radial tires in 31/10.50/r16. It will be my daily driver but a weekend wheeler so I want something very aggressive but still on the cheaper side which they kinda are. They also have 32" tires and even 30" I believe |

Guess you haven't looked at the prices lately,there pretty high.Though the Trxus MT's are well worth getting. |

Well you have to think I just got rid of a f250 where mud tires on that truck would be 300 a tire and that's a cheap one. Compared to that 200 or 230 per tire These are a little bit cheaper IMO. They make a 31/11/r16 so I'm sure a smaller lift would be fine. |

Depends on what you call a smaller lift That size would need a 4 inch lift at least if you are going to use the tires off road Going to mall though you'd be fine with a smaller lift |

Well I see people with 265's with a 3.5 inch lift so a 31 should work well right? |

I've seen them but take a look at the fenderwells you can't even put your hand in between the fender and tire/no room to flex like I said if you are just going to the mall it will be ok But also fiqure in regearing as you'll want to soon after putting them on |

So I understand having to use either wheel spacers or rims with proper back spacing but is a 2" larger tire really going to effect the truck that much? I mean when the money's right I have every intention on doing shiz the right way with a real coil lift and proper rims. But for the meantime between time is it absolutely necessary? |

What kind of lift are you thinking about getting? |

I was thinking the rock krawler. That obviously is just a temporary lift but non the less better than stock or I will just do a day star because it's hella cheap and when tax time comes just by ome springs |

My son runs Swampers on his YJ, which is mainly used off road. Very loud, very short tire life, impossible to balance. They are an off road tire even though they are DOT approved. Would suggest you run something else if your a weekend offroader. BFG All Terrains are a good combo tire and others that have the same type tread but not the BFG name. |

Well let me rephrase my post. I am thinking about running an interco tire. They are the maker of super swamper and they make lots of different tires. They have some very aggressive radial tires and there are some that look like they would work well for daily drivers... I don't mean a set of TSL's |

I don't mean a set of TSL's Best bet would be the Trxus MT's and keep it well under 31",they are very heavy and you will loose alot of power until you regear.It'll be driveable but you will get worse mpg's then that F250 and if you run in 4hi expect the trans temp light to pop up alot. |

Isn't Rock Krawler the spacer lift that says 3.5" but most people only get about 2" or so? |
