Okay, I did a search here and I could not find anything specific to this tire.

I am thinking about getting this tire due to the open tread design (looks like it will clean mud well) and the low price of only $93/tire at tirerack.

The one thing that has me concerned are the specs for this tire. It is shorter and wider than most other 32" tires.

Here is the comparison with the BFG M/T:

BFG diameter 31.8 and width of 11.4
Mud Rover diameter 31.3 and width of 12.2

According to many posts here, the 32" BFG should fit my 02 fine with little or no rubbing if I remove the mudflaps but the Mud Rovers are nearly 1 inch wider and 1/2 inch shorter.

Can anyone here think of any additional problems created or rubbing that might occur if I go with this shorter but wider tire?

Does anyone run this tire in this size currently? Problems?

The 265/75R16 is NOT comparable as it is not nearly as wide even though it has the diameter of the 32"

I will be using stock 15 X 7 wheels.

Thanks

Dave

It might fit, but it'll be tight in the rear. I have 32x11.50 BFG ATs on the old Pathy/Hardbody alloys that push them .6" further out than the stock wheels, and I get rubbing on the wheel lip in the back:



My BFGs measure 11.4 (on a 9" wide wheel) according to BFG, that's .8" narrower than the Dunlops, so supposedly the Dunlops would stick out .2" less than my setup does.
