I currently have 33x10.5 BFG AT's and well I am not happy with them. They are good on pavement and ok off road, but suck in real mud. I was thinking of trying to find a 35"x 10.5 tire but they are hard to find. I was going to go with Thronbirds as I can get the size I am looking for but road manners are not great on wet or snowy/icy pavement. I was thinking about the TRXUS but they only come in 12.5 width for the 25 " height, and I found when I went to a 12.5 width on my BJ-60 the truck strained alot more to get upto and maintain highway speed. Maybe it is not as big of a deal with the 13-BT motor, which is why I am asking you guys for opinions.
Thanks,
Todd

I am running belton suspension on my 89' (I think I have a leaf in the front and rear out) and I was running 35x12.5x15's with no problems. I did not like the rake in the front and it will just touch a bit if I wheel. I also have the auto and have not turned up the fuel on the 13BT yet so I went back to 33" 10.5 15's for now but you can put 35" on it.
Cheers,
Michael
