Southern Tire Experience.....

[Ghost]

Ok,so it is time to turn in my 33's for something bigger. I will keep it between 35"-37" I think. I'm sure I can make them fit. I'm very happy with my Coppers but am considering Super Swampers since the Coopers in that size are close to the same price. Which tires have you found the most successful here in teh SE. In other words what tire can handle the clay of Uwharrie in the rain and the Rocks of Lower 2 in teh Rain?

Ghost glad to hear from ya!
chad (grey MJ) swears by the swampers
when the MTRs take a dump I will do the same probably Truxis flavor
for now I like the less aggressive radials because I drive a good bit on the smooth stuff
going to the dixie run?

[Ghost]

When is that? Oct? If so I doubt I'll make it this year. I'm trying to work out the FLog.

I think since don't steet drive it much, you would be served well by (non-radial) TSLs in 36 x 12.5 or if your pockets are a bit deeper, TSL/SX in the same size.

Irok would work too, but I bet they aren't as long wearing as the above two.

i like bfg mts

[WTF]

We run bias ply TSL in the Q78 x 15 size. That comes out to about a 35.5x11.5. Mud and rock performance is outstanding, and they're probably one ofthe most durable tires out there. They wear fast if you put many street miles on them but its worth it.

Glen I loved my trxus at the crawl this year. Granted it wasn't really wet but I never wanted more from them.

I have to say The BFG muds work great at places like uwharrie at about 10 psi

They work great until they get sliced/ruined by sharp-wet rocks... I ruined one 33x12.5 BFG-MT in Uwharrie that had less than 1000 miles on it... said "never again" to those. They make a decent 90% street-looks/10% off road useful tire... but bring a spare - or two, and a bunch of plugs to get serious.

Remember he mostly trailers his rig... running on-off road tires on a trailered rig is leaving a lot on the table IMO.

I-rok bias ply

I-rok bias ply
That or a bogger tsl combo is what I'm leaning towards. I do have a friend with a set of 4 35 boggers he will sell for 600. So I may try those first.
