Super Swamper Radial TSL on stock 40 rims

[oilcan]

Just put the 33X10.50 TSL Radials on my 78 40 with a 2.5" lift. With no power steering, I have found the steering effort to be greatly reduced over the 32X11.50 BFG AT's previously used. The TSL's are on the white wagon wheel rim, I am assuming a 7 or 8 inch width. A little wide for offroading (popped the bead twice in Moab last week), but as beadlocks are in the near future, I simply mounted them on the rims I had. I am happier with the TSL's than I have been with any other tire I have run, especially offroad. On road, they are quieter than expected, did experience the flat spots in the mornings, but no big deal.

I've got 31x9.5s on 5.5" steel wheels. They are narrower than advertised. The 9.5s are 7.2" wide at the tread. I believe the 10.5s are 8.4" wide, iirc. They're pretty quiet and awesome off road. They're soft. We ran them down to 10psi on the beach and we were unable to get stuck even when we tried.

They're a bit hard to keep balanced. I'd put some plastic beads inside if I remounted them again.

I'm actually running some other 33s now for the rubber overdrive and to save the soft swampers when we towed it a couple thousand miles.

you say that you have a 4" lift right????? well then you can go with either the Q78-15 or 34-9.5-15......... I know they are not radial but, they both fit the Cruiser and the stock rim perfect.

Do a search of my screen name and you will find pics of my rig with the Q78's.....

33x10.50 boggers- fit great, no rubbing when flexed. They are bias ply, but similar height/width. Stock 5.5" wide early rims/hubcaps. Had them for a couple years now, still have about half tread left. They howl on the highway, but they perform so well off road I don't mind it.

In the pic below most of the rigs I was with who were running BFG MTs, Goodyear MTRs, etc had to rely on wheel spin and/or multiple attempts to make it through. I was able to chug right through with minimal slipping.
