34" LTB's but working on 36's   I'm getting tired of all the mud falling out when i wrench on the Kick so I'm trying a little harder to avoid the big holes.  BUT once it gets dirty all bets are off.

with the 34's


Testing out a set of 36's

Im hoping my duel t case setup will arrive soon, but i run 33.12.50 mtrs.

Zig you probaby dont have this problem but i found last weekend they weren`t cleaning to well after hitting a mud run it was a clay base and not much water,  they were like racing slicks after 2 mins.

 :DI am running 36x12.50x15 swamper sx's on 15x8 10 hole aluminum rims.  Best tire I have found to date.  I have a Spring Over with wrangler springs fr and rr, 1" body lift, missing link (home made) fr and rr, Toy axles and lots of fender "massaging" with a 10 lb sledge.  I finally put bump stops in and it make a world of difference.  It's on a 1988.5 tin top Sami.  This size allows me to wheel almost everywhere.  I started in stock (!) form and have run the 31's, 33's, etc.  All good sizes with the proper driveline upgrades.  Good luck!

I'll try it again.

I dont ride in clay mud much, but I have found that MTR's will clean just about as good as other MT tires (not including TSL's and Boggers). But my favoriate part is with you go through a wet, mudy section and then hit rock, it just takes a little spinning ant the MTR's are heated back up and sticky enough to pull you over the rock ;D Not to mention they ride great on the road to.

After seeing how well the Krawlers hooked up on Mikes rig, I'll have to look into getting some of those when the MTR's wear out.

I'm using my 'kick for commuting to work, taking my mountain bikes to trails and camping - probably no offroading.

I have 16's coming in. What tires should I get to fill the wheel wells?

You might want to stay with the 8" rim if your going to run the 12.5" tires so you don't loose your bead so easily.

I run 33x12.5 BFG MTR's on a 15x8" wheel for standard trail runs.  They seem to get the job done, but I just siped them to see if I can get a little more flex without airing down further.  Usually I run around 8 psi on the trail and don't have any issues, will probably start switching down to 6 for rocks and snow.

Standard Spring Over lift, front fenders missing or trimed/hammered out.  Rear fenders cut.

thats would be one big step,  not only do Krawlers only come in 35's and up but from what i hear they bite 10 times harder than a MTR
