Need some tires for some 4wd trials coming up.
Last year I used 33x12.5 Swampers in the rear with Dunlop 235/85/16 on the front. The narrow front tires gave me a better turning radius but the Dunlops had no sidewall lugs making for poor grip getting out of ruts and sidehill stuff.
I dont compete on rocks , mostly slippery clay , long steep wet and slimey hills , moguls(more like huge pits) and very tight narrow twists and turns.
Want:
-I want more tire height to give better axle clearance
-big side lugs to get out of ruts
-most of all , a price that wont cause my wife to castrate me
Questions:
Would 36inch Swampers fit with minor fender cutting and a 2 inch lift?
Is 36 inch pushing the limits of LC axles ?
Are 34-35 inch better suited for safe 4wding with LC?
In the past I mostly used a Hilux for competition but being a 2 seater my wife despised it. It is presently up for sale and the proceeds will buy new tires and some parts for my LC.
