swampers vs. BFG Mt

Post by will1551 »

ok so in the near future after my bfg ats wear out im going to either put bfg mts on my stock rims or swamper tsl radials. im sort of torn. i know i can fit the bfgs no prob (i have an extended cab 4x4 with t-bars cranked a little over an inch and a 1.5 inch tuff country aal) the swampers im looking at are 31x9.50x15 and im a little worried i might have clearance issues, any opinions?

i think youll have issues. i have 2" body lift and t bars cranked, my 31's rubbed/rub the back of the front fenders. i cant see you running them without a bigger lift unless you dont turn :)

I would do a BL with that setup and you should be OK...maybe some minor rubbing, nothing a BFH wouldn't help out though. :D

You might consider Wrangler MTR's also...I had them on my S-10 and loved them.

If you're rig is more of a dedicated off-road rig, nothing beats a good set of Swampers, but if you use it for any bit of time on pavement, nothing beats the BFG M/T's for longevity and off-road traction combination. Swampers don't last long on pavement. My BFG M/T's are lasting so long, I just got a tire cover for my spare so it won't dry-rot! Cause I want to rotate that one in on my next new tire purchase of the same.

if not the 31x950x15 then what about a 30x1050x15?
