which tires ? help me decide!

Well, I sold my 33 - 12.5 - 15 tsl super swampers last year due to the need of money. Now I'm buying new ones. I don't know what to buy. I'm looking at bfg km2s because I can get a 33-10.5 -15s. I like the narrower tire because of the lack of power. But I've had good luck with the swampers so help me decide! i have a 93 tracker 6 inch calimini lift kit ,auto, transfer case gears,toyota cv axles. thanks guys!!

34x9.50 TSL if you want a narrow tire...

If you ran the 33x12.50 bias TSL's then I don't think you will have any issues with the 34x9.50 size, or the 34x10.50 LTB's.

Love my LTBs. And they do run small: my 35x12.50s don't measure much more than 33x11 at anything less than like 35psi.

Please don't buy the KM2s. I'll try to resist boring everybody with my sob story yet again, but I swore I'd try to keep anybody from buying another BFG.

I vote 32x11.5 Kevlars! Much lighter than a swamper.



I had some 31x9.5 tsl's on my last one though and the skinnies were great

P.S. are you running Stans Toy CV kit? still sporting the AL front diff?

Pecker .I just found a steel vitara axle. I'm waiting on Stan to make me a 26 spline kit but that's been painful!! Been almost 2 months. Always next week. Love got a set of 35 km2s I was going to use with my Toyota axle s in my x90 . But not sure if they'll fit.
