I've been kicking around the idea of new tires for the run. I'm not sure if I trust the Super Swampers for another one or not. They sure like to go flat and fall off the rim between runs and they're worn down a fair amount. They are amazing tires, though. SO MUCH TRACTION.
It would be nice to not have to deal with dragging a trailer full of tires from Texas to AZ, too.
The swampers are 35x10.5 - so if I were to buy, I'm pretty sure I'd get 35x12.5, which will be a lot more to turn than the 33x10.5" streeties I have on there now.. but then, no trailer drag.... and the lower RPMs might let me get away with leaving overdrive off. I'm not certain if I could get the truck in the garage with bigger tires on though.... that would suck.
Also, tread pattern... I'm not sure if I would be better off with ye olde AT, or maybe I should go back to a street MT.
I think Keith said he's just going to run his ATs the whole time - would that be good enough for this year's run, or will I miss the meats?
Some options:
BFG A/T $185 each
Kumho Road Venture MT. $200 each
Yokohama Geolander MT. $198 each
Gah. Any thoughts?
