Alrighty, my current tires (used, $100 for all four) are a little bit deficient in the mud. They do alright, but I need to replace them sometime this summer/fall. What I need is a 33x12.50 (or wider) tire that is primarily for the mud. I'll probably never see any rocks unless I trailer it far, far away. Possibly sand, but that's it. My rig is also my daily driver (for the time being), so they have to be able to be driven on the road (road noise and vibration aren't issues, I just want to drive it on pavement periodically without ruining my tires).

I need suggestions. Help is appreciated.

my bro is running firestone destination, 33x12.5, he loves them, they are good for mud, snow, and soem rock i think, they are best in their class for pavemnt driving,  (tread ware) his truck is mostly drivin on road, when he has time he goes off road, he loves the tires tho.

My radial tsl's kicked some mud on last weeks run, I like them

How are Super Swamper TSL's/Radial TSL's for tread wear?

Mike said he drove a set to Hell and Back,
and had enough tread to sell them to a
club member.

OK I'm paraphrasing here, but they are
great on and off the road, a little pricey
but wear excellent on and off road.

Mac has 32x9.5 bias, SS TSL's.

He’s been running them for a few months and they look brand new.  

Sidekicks are light enough vehicles that you don't need to worry about tread wear too much when it comes to an aggressive tire like a Super Swamper.

His only complaint is that they are pretty noisy on the highway.  They like to Hummmmmmmmmmmmmm.


My next tire is gonna be a Super Swamper for sure.

Ya, Swampers Rock ..... uhh ...... Er ... Mud

Radials 150-170 ea.

thanks kreg, big help hahahaha lol  

Which are the better ones to buy: radial or bias ply? What are the benefits and drawbacks of each?

(sorry, I'm a tire n00b)

I drove mine this winter on hwy at about 9psi put on an extra 4000 miles for a total of 4800 and they are just now starting to show some signs of wear, they still look like they have an inch and a half left  

Radials are smooth running, long tread life tires.
Bias are very tough for offroad, heavy sidewalls
but the tread life is shorter, like 30-35K miles,
and they get flat spots when parked until they
round out again (get warm)

How much of a difference is there in offroad performance between the bias-ply and radials? Is the longer tire tread enough to pay the extra $40-50?
