(pretty much all the offroad tires have been mentioned on this thread)
UPDATE, THIS THREAD IS ALSO SHOWING OTHER TIRE OPTIONS, NOT JUST INTERCO, FOR THOSE INTERESTED...
Hi Folks,
lookin at a 78 40 with 4.88's/locked/winched/PS'd currently on 35"x14.5R15 boggers. so short story, PO will let it go for cheaper w/o the massive boggers which will be way overkill for my needs (gotta drive 2-3 hours to wheelin spots first, so the ride will be nuts, PO trailers it but i don't have that luxury and would like some pavement driving on nice days). anyway, this will be a trail rig no doubt. guess i'm stuck with that size tire cuz of the gearing, but it's all good. got more options with 33's but that's just too much rev's. anyway, i've done lots of searches on the 35x10.5R15 OR 34x95R15 tire size but didn't find too many feedback, most went into the 16" rims eventually. truck's got the factory white steelies. btw, is the 34x9.5 too skinny? i read one post that they may pop out of the beads...
so i'm on Interco's site (and really didn't find too many others carrying this particular tall/skinny size) and came up with 4 choices:
LTB in 34x10.5
LTB | Interco Tire
- bias ply
NARROW SS 34x9.5
Narrow S.S. | Interco Tire
- bias??
- needs special attention to PSI
SSR 35X10.5
SSR | Interco Tire
- thin tread design
- radial
- quieter
and
TSL Boggers 35X10.5
TSL Bogger | Interco Tire
- crazy aggressive
btw, rig has spacers. i'll most likely take the spacers out to sport the tall skinny.
in your opinion, what's the more appropriate tire for driving on the freeway 1-3 hours to get to the wheeling spot, then have fun in the dirt/rocks/whatever. i'm guessing the radial SSR's will do the job, just noticed a significant diff in tread depth b/w those and the rest of mudders...
i'm guessing i'll prolly get away with 34's, but having driven the rig and knowing it's the most comfortable at 80km/hr (just take my time on the road) with 35's, just wondering if that extra inch will make a difference, knowing that 2 inches definitely will. won't be touching the gears anytime soon, i'll stick with it, just need the right tire!
hope someone can shed some wisdom for this newb! thanks in advance.
cheers.

and if all goes as planned, i'll make my proper intro!
