I run my 31" TSL's on the weekends and Grabbers the rest of the time! Lot easier to commute with street tires!

Again, I must say "Why?"

Have you found any trail yet that you couldn't drive because you had 1/2" less ground clearance ?

Do you need less power and torque ?

Do you need worse mileage ?

You have a perfectly good set of Swampers, why not try wheeling with them for a year before replacing them ?

Prolly cause they wouldn't last a year. I think what Kevin had in mind, was having the claws for offroading, and switching to his spare BFGs(32s) for commuting. Now I think he just wants to run BFGs(33s) all the time. I think it is a wise choice. Since the SSRs run big, he would basically be going to the same height of tire. The tire would just be 1" slimmer, and would prolly help with the rubbing. So there prolly wouldn't be any loss in power or mpg. If anything I would think he would gain.

I lost power and mileage when I went to a wider but shorter tire. If Kevin can sell the SSRs and get BFGs, they will last a lot longer, so they will be better in the long run.

ok, so, why not get a spare set of stock tires for daily driving. that way the swampers can be his offroad tires. OR... get a set of 31" trxus which you will be happy enough with onroad, and you will be more than happy with offroad, if you get the itch to wheel without switching. Buying Mud Terrains as a street tire is totally silly. Not saying that is what you are suggesting. What are you suggesting?

BTW, the 37.00R57 tires are 135.6" in diameter, and they cost about 25-30K each.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Oh yeah, I remember them stating that they were 23 ply. And they still had monstrous tears in the lugs.

Tons of people run mud terrains as a street tire. I always run them. Running boggers or claws as a street tire is silly. Does anyone know what size the stock tires were? I can't remember. I am thinking about getting a set of cheapo grabbers for long trips.

Kevin I still don't understand your thinking, you already have 32x11.5 BFG Muds that you can use for everyday driving and Swampers for offroad so why, why would you now want to buy more tires? The 33x10.5 BFG's in my opinion are not a great choice for an X with 6" of lift either(especially offroad), you need the added width since your center of gravity is now higher...in fact you should have no problem running the 33x10.5 BFG's WITHOUT the body lift so if that's your choice on tires don't install the body lift-go with 33x12.5 BFG Mud's if you install the body lift. But again WHY? You tell me you are going to college and can't waste money but then want to blow money on tires when you already have a perfect combination of on/off road tires with the 32" BFG's and 32" SSR's.

OK here is the bottom line from me: sell both sets of tires you have, install the 3" body lift and buy 33x12.5 BFG KM's....now you have the height you want and a tire you can get 45,000+ miles out of.
