being the newer tracker owner
I threw in the 2.5" lift
I can't put anything larger I think than a 10.5 inch tire, and that requires backspacing of at least 1" to a 3.5
I currenlty own a good set of A/T which are more aggressive than most, (baiscally mud lugs with sipes)
and they are great for daily/snow/ice driving in my climate
however they are 235's which are relaitvely small
after seeing the swamper tsl radial at a 31" x 9.5, they seem to be exactly the size I need
however... is the extra inch going to really give me the extra clearance to get through anymore than I currently am?
also price is an issue... in a way
I was looking at the high tec retreads from this site
http://www.high-tec-retreading.com/sizes.html
I think the OTR mud is the same as the dunlop mud rover
however I'm not a fan of the way it looks, I don't think my car has the power to self clean as much as perhaps the "mud" onese they have there
the mud's look almost like a swamper
but as you can see the largest they have is a 30 x 9.5 15..
but damn they have good prices
i'm kind of debating between the 2, I belive the TSL radials are going to be along the lines of 184 a piece, compared to the crazy $59.99 I would look at with high-tec
any advice?
p.s. as I do have a set of the a/t's for daily driving, i'm looking specifically for offroad purpose, which is why i'm looking at the TSL's

Check it: http://www.tyres1.com/search/search.cgi?web_code=GMT
Search their website. I just picked up 4 LTB's for 415, brand new. ;D

I got my TSL radials at National Tire and Wheel in Wheeling WV. They were only $100 each for the 31x9.50x15" size, no shipping cause I picked them up. Surely the shipping wouldn't cost $84 each!

Depends on how much you want to spend. I would go with the dunlop mud rovers, they range from 235's all the way to 35 x 12.5 (I got the 35 x 12.5) and there fairly cheap. Mud rovers have never let me, or my brother down, and we Make It Hert on a daily basis!!!

Myself, the Real Red Sammi, and Lawdog have at one time or another all had Dunlop Mud Rovers what a great tyre I can't say enough good things about them I currently have a set of 31x10.5 MTR's and hate them my 235/75 Mud rovers could wheel the piss out of em.
Don't be afraid of being able to spin em there very light for what they are. the Lawdog runs 33x12.5 with a 1.3 and 4.57 gears no problems ;D the Real Red Sammi runs 35x12.5 with a 1.6 and until just recently he still had stock gears :D
Swampers aren't bad they can be very heavy :o in comparison and expensive. I've heard good and bad about the retreads :P tirerack.com has Dunlops in 31x10.5's for $91 I'd say get the Mud Rovers and make it hert!!! ;D

My 31x9.50x15" TSL radials didn't seem a whole lot heavier than the 215's on stock rims I was running before... The performance was definately worth stepping up to swampers though... In my group last sunday, a Cherokee running 32" mud terrains(recaps, Hitec retreads) couldn't even get to some of the places we were going with swampers... they packed up with mud so much, they became slicks while the swampers would fling the goo out of the tread almost instantly...
-
We have some sticky clay, the kind that sticks
to your shoes until you are 2" taller :) and the
swampers shed that stuff like they were coated
with teflon

There is a big difference in the mud terrain's and the mud terrain copies. My BFG's clean out very well.
-
Iv got 31 LTB's and love'em. I mean can you even find another tire for less? Let alone that agressive for anyware near that.
-
i would never buy a bfg MT, ive seen so many of there sidewalls ripp.. also with there AT.. if your looking for the best all around tire for street, ice, snow, mud, rock, loggin roads, id go for the interco trxus MT's. they've never let me down, nor any body I know with them. But for off road only, LTBs are perfect.. im buyin a set for my LWB sami probably 8)
