Gunna be getting my first set =) (tires)
« on: May 29, 2004, 12:34:09 PM »
ok im looking at buying tires for the tracker..mine still have like all the tread left lol (not really but they are still good) but they are stock size and very very very hard rubber so they off little to negative grip

since i have never bought tires before and the only tires i have riddin on kuhmos (moms GV) i have no expirence

so if u guys could chime in on tire size and type it would really help me...3" bl is in the works probably 1 month off

edit id like to stuff the biggest tires i could in there...rubbing from wheeling isnt a concern right now because it wont see any dirt for a while..

Don't a lot of people put 235x75xr15's on stock Kicks? With some floorboard work (hammer or cutting/welding), you could probably go bigger.

EDIT: With a body lift, trimming, and floorboard work, I was able to make my 33x12.50's fit. :)

With which tires? If you have 33's with no body lift, then you'll have rubbing at less than full lock or compression :)

If you mean the 235's, they shouldn't rub from what I've read.

i just want mean looking tires (yes yes i know looks shouldnt count)...but i want them to be good offroad and alright on road..dont really care since the car rides like a brick anyways lol i found these swamper TSLs 31x10.50-15 (Ply Rating=6 Tread Width=9 O.D.=31.3)

says $117..i assume thats for 1 tire..so thats alot of money lol..but if they are good its worth it

i plan to do trail riding for the most part..slow to intermediate speeds some stop and go technicle parts maybe some mud...im not looking for a total rock crawler (my idea of that is nothing over 1mph dinging the rockers every 3" lol)

price really isnt a concern aslong as they are worth it..the more they cost the longer itl take to get them though and the further it push's the turbo :(

swampers are worth every penny if you are in the mud.  i don't really know about rocks,  i have only been on one kinda big one and i didn't really like it.

these seem ok to super swamper radial TSL 32x10.50R15 (Ply Rating=6 Tread Width=9 O.D.=32.1)

http://www.4wheelparts.com/4wp/products/productLine.asp?cat=TIR&prodline=25&catName=TIRES&man=INTE

the main thing is longevity i guess..since these will see probably 200-250 miles a week i think is what i average right now if i dont drive around wasting gas then its like 120 a week
