Buckshot Muds/other tire Performance

[Badbowtie3]

When I get my 6in. susp. lift I obviously have to get bigger tires than my current 33's. I am debating on whether to get the 36x12.50x16 super swamper radials, the 30585R16 buckshot radial mudders or some long-lasting procomp 31575R16 mud terrains (all of these are the only tires that I can find and that I like that come in a 16" rim, also that are skinny enough for 8" wide rims.) When I can drive in december I will have to drive about 7-10 miles every morning to school. But I do like to wheel in mud, occasionally I go up to the mud drags and play in the pit after its over. What do yall think I should get... About how many miles will each of these tires last, if I rotate and balance them religously? They would be mounted on 16x8's on my 84 K20.



Mud holes are like problems in life, you always learn something from them

<font color=blue>Steve has 36x12.5x16 Swamper Radials and he says he's got about 14K on them and the tread is still good. I have these tires and I like them a whole lot. They work good in the mud, but dont have the street drawbacks of bias-plys. I say get the swampers. I think 16x8s will work but they'll last longer on 16x9.5s. I have mine on 15x10 8 lug whitespokes that I painted black.</font color=blue>

I had the Buckshot Mudders on my '85 S-10, worked great in snow and mud but were incredibly loud on the streets. I can imagine they would be even louder in a larger tire size on a heavier truck. Good tire tho offroad..........
