What size swampers???

[Blaine122300]

I want to upgrade to Interco Super swampers someday, and I'm not sure what size to get. Should I get the 34-10.50x15's or the 36-12.50x15's? I'm just not sure.
The 36's seem too big, and the 34's seem too narrow. I'm just up in the air right now. I know also that the 33" swampers are like 1" taller than the 33" all terrains from BFG. Maybe I should just go with some 33's? I'm just so confused.
I would really like MTR's, but they are really expensive. What do you guys think?

Thanks.

do you use your ex for a daily driver? if so I would shy away from getting the swampers because of the short life span. if it's not a DD I would get the 33". with the added traction, stock axles, and lockers anything bigger might do some damage to your drivetrain while off roading.

I know a lot of people run 35's, but yeah, I guess they do have some problems with stuff getting worn out early. If I got some swampers, I think I would just use them as off road tires. I'd use my All Terrains as Daily drivers.

I've been running nothing less then 35s for roughly 3-4 years on my Explorer. All you have to do is take care of it. I run right now 36x12.50 TSL Radials for the street with no sway bars. I can run with everything else out on the road just fine. Just my .02 cause if I remember right I was one of the first to do 36" tires around here.

Showoff! Does your ego actually fit through the driver's door?

Interco makes so many size you could just about pick anything you want. The new SSR's are street friendly compared to it's brothers and sisters. If you drive a lot of miles on the street and plan on only running one tire, then the MTRs would be a wise investment. They could last twice as long or more than the swamper. This is where your money pays for itself.

Yeah, I heard the same thing about designing a SAS with leafs by myself.

so, the TTB handles the 36's pretty well then? I think without fiberglass, I would have to trim a lot.

With my old stock fenders I had to trim maybe an inch if that. Very little!!!

I wouldn't say the TTB handles them well but if you take care of your bearings and keep everything greased up it'll take the abuse. I also run an ARB locker up front so that should say something about the TTB.
