I have a few tires in mind for my single seat sand rail rock buggy. It has suzuki axles under it. I am debating over a few tires,


super swamper LTB 34-10.5-15 $114

general tire MT 35-12.5-15 $139

super swamper TSL 32-9.5-15 $140

And, any one heard of a Super Sport. Walmart sells them for $118 35-12.5-15 soft aggressive tread, any good?

obviously I am trying to keep cheap and light

Any input?

The only one of those I'd trust on the rocks is the TSL. I have General Grabbers, and they're great tires, but they're strictly street only from now on. I sliced one a while back and don't really trust the sidewalls anymore.. That's why I bought TSL's :D
Not like I wheel anymore :(....WTF? :(... Where'd all the local runs go? :crybaby2:. Everyone's vanished. I used to hook up with Triangle4wd on some of their runs, but if you look at the calender, there's nothing coming up but a bunch of meetings. Seems like alot of yappin', and no action. :shaking:.

Lookin at the other options you are considering, what about the good ole 34-9.50 15 TSL's? Tough sidewalls, and while they are a little narrow (small contact patch) that might not be so bad, as it will let your zuk axles live. my only concern with these is that teh sidewalls flex like shit. Aired down to 4PSI with tubes on my 59 willys pickup, they were still hard as a rock. your rig being lighter, this would be even worse. This is the price of tough sidewalls on a narrow tire, though.
