Hi All,
I'm replacing my 31x10.5x15 BFG Mud Terrains with BFG All Terrains. Why? I'm looking for better performance on hard-packed snow.
I'm close to closing the deal on 33x9.5x15 but I have some concerns about performance. How is this tire going to do on the freeway? Will it be stable in the turns? Is it going to want to pop off the bead if I air it down in the sand?
I like the look of narrow tire but the 9.5 on an 8" wheel bubbles out a bit and I think it looks a little odd. I do like how it looks from the rear profile. Overall I think I like the look. However, I'm more concerned about performance.
I put a 33x9.5x15 on the truck to get a better feel for looks - Les Schwab sold me a single they had for $50.
I've read a lot of posts here on this subject but I'd like to get some more feedback from those of you that have used this tire (33x9.5x15) on an 8" wheel. Love it? Hate it? Would you do it again or would you opt for the 10.5?
Here are a few pictures of a 33x9.5x15 on the truck. FYI - Costco has this tire in this size for $143 installed.
