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

 

 

What about boggers? I have had super good luck with Cooper SST's.

These look pretty good and are really cheap.

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................

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.

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.....

Those 34-9.50's are some super tires...First hand exp. on that Scott.

 

Kick rump roast traction.

 

Good tires.

TSL 34x9.50-15LT For the win! great tires

I am sold on Swampers! I have seen them do amazing things and still hold air. Things most tires would have shredded themselfs on.

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. . .

But, with that much money, I would just watch craigslist and score something.

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?

you can get those cheaper from 4wheel parts. they were $105 last time I checked. Not sure on the shipping from either store though.
