Well i got those tires from CL got em for 450 here they are
im thinking about wire wheeling my old greyish steelies and painting them black how do they turn out with rattle can paint?

I painted mine on the Ol-Burb rattle can style and 2 yrs later they still look good(just dirty). Just prep(Clean/scrub) them good, primer and use a satin finish, gloss and semi gloss just seem way too shiny for a off-road truck

k well mine is more DD then offroad i might use these tires on the rims i paint idk yet i might use them for a bit and see how they were and if i dont like it i will put my current tires on until i want to offroad it.

Ya i know thats what i was thinkin But hey thats what the side wall says. What i find odd is on all the sites that show size availability for the Super Swamper TSL radials the dont list a 31x10.5x15 only a 31x9.5x15

Interco only makes the bias TSL in 31x10.50-15. If you are going with the radial version your choices would be 31x9.50R15LT or 30x10.50R15L

Those are not the Radial Super Swamper, they are the SSR.

Oh thanks for clearing that up I guess i shouldve taken a closer look at the side walls. They are still in the back of my truck i havent had a real good chance to look at the sides. Hopefully after school me an my dad will be putting the final coat of black on the rims. How long should they sit before i take them to get mounted? I think we are gonna let them sit in front of the salamander(spelling) heater to kinda bake the last coat on.

With a little baking... they will be ready as soon as they are cool.

Well i got the last coat on today. I let them sit out in the sun for a good hour we didnt have much kerosien left in the heater My plan is to let them sit in the back while im at school tomorrow and then after school get them mounted

That should be plenty long to dry.
