Anyone have any pictures of their truck running these tires? I'm not sure if I like the designless sidewalls but I need tires quick and these are cheap (local guy selling near new sets for $425).


Not having luck with super swampers.. Bought 4 with great tread, had one blow 15 miles down the road. Bought another with great tread a couple weeks back and just had another one of the first 3 start coming apart. My uncle is now hesitant to put his 38.5x16.5 super swampers on his excursion. I know they're supposed to be good tires, but they are kicking my wallet's ass so I'm switching. If anyone wants to buy 3 36x14.5x16.5 super swampers they'll be off soon.

I dont have a picture on this computer of them but,yeah I have a backup set for my 94 that are the military OZ. You can buy em from TrailworthyFab.com for $75 each. They are not loud at all, but do wear pretty fast. I do not have any issues with them on my truck, though i mostly only run them in the winter seasons. Just make sure you find a decent set of wheels to handle the weight. using the military beadlocks is out of the question unless you get them recentered. last time i priced a set of 5 tires, with 5 wheels recentered and shipped was around 750$

iused the hummer wheels on my old chevy all got to do it get some good wheel spacers. as far as the tires go they are ok but they suck in the mud.

As long as you dont plan on going off the pavement they are a good street friendly tire, buy ABSOLUTLY SUCK OFF THE PAVEMENT(like on dry grass)

Good looking truck. I really like the yellow. On the tires. Ive seen enough of these things to make we want to puke. Theh are ok for some decent use but like others said they dont last to long and off road sucks.

I don't think they'll look too bad, thanks for the pictures. My only offroading will be in 4wd on the gravel bar, these are just for road-use. I have 33's for sled pulling. Thank you for the information.

Yes they will fit. i had a set on my 94 with no lift. you will have to cut a small L shape out of the bumper end on the bottome for turning.

turbodiesel, I don't think you'll like turning 37s with 3.55 gears.. My truck is a slug on 36s with 4.10 gears.

If your thinking about bigger tires look into Michelin xmls. Their a 325/85/16. You will need a life but they ride great and roll really well. They also last a long time. I've got 4.10s and empty she's fine, loaded with 5k she can be a bit of a **** to get moving but then she's fine.

you got something wrong then... lol
mine spun 36's great, 38's ok, and was a little cranky with the 40's and 3.55 gears. i am swaping to 4.10 now.
