38s and not X-terrains. I hate mine. Plus you don't want to get 35s and then have to wait for them to wear down before you realize you should have gone bigger in the first place. I'm going 37s next

This is the only tire I would even think about running for mud and tellico.
 






tsl or bogger
 






well i dont want a tire that will wear out fast because it will be a dd for a few months after the build and i heard boggers wear out FAST but my friend has 44'' tsl on his chevy and he drives it like 100 miles a week and hes had them for a year and a half
 






Is a couple months 2 months or are you not sure how long it will actually be a dd? If it's only going to be 2 months, I wouldn't worry too much and you won't want to sacrifice performance when it isn't a dd. If it's going to be 6-10 months maybe you're right about not wanting something that will wear quickly.
 






it will be between 2-4 months so i may end up getting a radial tsl
 






Dont waste your time with the radial TSL. Get the bias. A few months of street use wont wear them down, and they'll work 100 times better offroad than the radials.
 






cool beans....
 






well i found my tires tonite they are 36x12.5x16 bias tsls and im giving 250 for 6 of them cause they came off a duallie and they got like 50% tread left
 






so i gotta find some 16x8 or x10 wheels
