Hopefully I'm not steeling his thunder, but I don't know if SSR Xterra planned on posting this here. It's a visual comparison of the BFG MT-KM and Super SwamperSSR 32" tires.

Yes, the wheels are both 16x8.

Now you need to get out the db meter and hit the highway for the sound volume comparison.

dB.....Jens, just go for a ride with me if you want to know how loud Swampers are.....

. Mud terrains are this quite drummm, drummm on the highway. Swampers are like flying in a WWII B-17!!!!

I don't think there could possibly be anything that makes more noise than RRdstarr's Swampers. Need ear plugs when you ride in his truck!

Most tire manufacture's tires run a little smaller than the tire size indicates. Interco is the exception to that rule. When Interco says 32 inches, they mean it!

I would like to see a picture of BFG's 33X10.50X15 next to those two tires.

Speaking of tires. I called the local Volco today as a friend said "mention my name and get a deal" well holy shit I got the manager on the phone and we really got into it.

I told him I was looking for the Dunlop Mud Rovers or BFG M/T 31 inch for the X. He replied that both tires were too "Heavy for that type of truck. Heavy???? yes he replied the truck was not build for tires like that unless you are planning atleast a 5 inch lift kit you should not go with anything above BFG A/T...I yelled HELLOOOOO drop the bong and listen for a second. I asked you for a price not a lecture of somehting you have no clue what you are talking about.

So I am still looking....the price by the way was $30 over what Jens paid for his per tire !!!

Xlax,

Uh yeah, I think I need to throw up now! Make it stop...PLEASE!

It's a pretty rar ocurrence when you find a tire store employee that knows what the hell he is talking about or doing. I do my own research and never listen to them!

They're less than 1" taller than the SSR's and about 1" thinner.

Is there anyway we could take a poll on what tires people have?. I am getting a bit cunfused about choices. I have seen the ratings for most of the Mud tires and they are all close..I guess price is a factor?.
