Heres a larger picturehttp://www.intercotire.com/sswamper_tsl_ltb-600.jpg

the 34X10.50 tires are $114.95 at national tire.

Seems like a nice price.
Seems that the narrower tire will tuck a little nicer then a 12.50" wide tire.

Ok aren't you the guy with pics of his stock XJ stuck on a small pile of rocks?? The price seems pretty good for swampers ... I paid 109.00 ea for my 33x9.5 BFG's (I couldn't wait for swampers).

Yep thats me:flipoff2:

Them small tires I have are 31"s
that red XJ has some what of a 3 inch lift with RE upper and lower control arms.

I have a hookup for some 6" coils and rear leafs.
So Yes I should be able to fit these tires with a little trim here and their :D

My old XJ was lifted 4 inches and ran 3312.50 tires and I had done a little trimming and never rubbed a tire.

I figure I will build this daily driver a bit bigger then the old XJ

I figure for the 5 or six bucks more it's worth it I might go ahead and order them up as soon as I hear from the guy with the coils.

6 " coils and 1.75 spacers I may not have to do much trimming.

Lets drink beer and BBQ anyway:flipoff2:

Perfect This is what I was looking for.

Looks like they might work with my stock rims for a while :D

How do they handle on the road how do they hold up with daily driving.

I know 84 Scrambler said the other ones wondered bu tthese are a bit different I imagine.

here is what you want,
about 6-7.5 in lift 3.5in back spacing on a set of US wheels and 35-1250BFG muds, if you got TSL 35-1250 it would be even nicer.

compare it to the other it dosent look like its gonna tip over, Go wider and taller,

Yah I know the 35x12.50 would be sweet but the 34x11.50s are cheap.

Maybe I'll take another look at the walmart 35"s

The guys that I have heard running thos 34*10.5 seem to really like them. As for a DD those tires are made out of softer rubber then normal and wear faster, IIRC.

Old Scout is running them in 32" ( :question: ) on his Latte runner.

Yeah but if someone wanted to go with big tires why not go with 37in boggers!!! Anything is possible with lift & some minor fender surgery!!:D

Those tires on stock rims would probably rub the control arms when you turned very sharp. Other than that they look like great tires for the price. If they would have been available this time last year I probably would have gotten some.

The tires in the above pics are 34x9.5s. I have ran both. Before I scrapped my XJ I was running the 34x10.5s for around 6 months. Best tire I ever had on the rig. Super sticky on the rocks and great in the mud. They do wear alittle faster then normal swampers. I had about 6 inches of lift and some trimming. Great tire,you wont be disapointed. RK:rasta:

those tires look like they have a personality conflict, they look like they are a big comprimise tire, suck off road, suck on road

Those Wally-World MT's are cheap as dirt and they look pretty good too eh.:D I'd look into 'em a little more if they had a 33x10.5, but I guess I'll opt for the new KM's.

Local tire joint quoted me $525 (including mounting, bal./ stemmed) + an "8% tire tax" on a set of the 33x10.5 KMs. So I'm looking roughly at about $575 out the door; not bad huh.

My buddy ran a set of 34x9.5 on his '48 CJ2A. He loved them until he started pulling them off the bead. They looked pretty good on the flatty, about the same perportion as a 36x12.5. I watched him chew up a slimmy hill a couple of years ago, about 6 months before I bought my Jeep. That one run up the hill got me hooked, I had to get a Jeep!


<<<100!!! posts! And I only padded a couple of times :D
