You may likely have some width clearance issues with a tire that wide. They are the best mud tire, but will not last if you drive them on the street.

Very true, a buddy of mine has a set of 33 12.5 boggers on his X and they go better than any tire out there. As far as wear HAHAHA. He got them brand new in the spring of this year and they are almost completly worn out.

Wait until they wear just a little bit, and you'll retract that statement.

Way too much tread left. I want to get rid of them but can't afford the 37" MTRs just yet. Compared to swampers anything is quiet, but the xterrain's "quiet design" is BS. I just don't like the tires at all.

Ok, sorry for the highjacking, back to swampers...

Irocks are bad ass, but definitely not a tire you want on a daily driver. DB_1 has them on his Ranger and said loves them for rocks, but not sand (they like to just dig). I'm not sure about mud because on the southern west coast, if you want mud, you kind of have to make it yourself.
