Ok.. trying to find the best Mud tire to use on my daily driver.
I have a few factors to include....
Cost
Traction mud/rain/dry
Tread wear
Noise
Actual Size
32 x 10.5 on 15x8 w/ 3.75 BS


Thanks
Doug

Too many factors.

First, good mud tires have big, blocky lugs for tread. They won't give you good traction in rain. Period.

Second, virtually nobody makes a nominal 32" tire that actually measures 32" when installed on a rim. Check the manufacturers' web sites. If you must have a tire that measures exactly 32", forget price and search for the one or two tires that will actually meet your criteria.

Third, most 32" tires are 11.5" wide. Asking for a 32x10.50 is again limiting your choices drastically. Again, check the manufacturers' web sites. Most of them have charts with tire sizes and actual dimensions.

If you really want a 32x10.50 consider getting 16" rims. A 265/75 16 tire is essentially a 32x10.50 and will measure truer as most metric tires are closer to their stated size than flotation size tires. HTH.

Hey Doug,

My 33x10.50 BFG MT's measure about 31.5" tall at 28 PSI. You are welcome to try them on your rig some day if you want to see how they fit. These things wear like there is no tomorrow. I have about 30K miles on them (rotating all 5) and they still have tons of tread left. I got a little lazy paying attention to pressure/alignment and they are a bit cupped now and a touch loud. I bought them at Costco about a year and a half ago for $133 a piece (installed w/road hazard) + tax. I think they have increased the price some since then.

Ok.. I do appologize... I did not mean to type 32x10.5.
32x11.50 or if possible 32x9.50

Ok.. yes.. guess i should have mentioned what i do.
DD 90%... trails... some mud.. not to many rock in my part of the country. I wanna stay away from mud.. hate spending 3+ hrs cleaning the damn thing.


spaulman.. thanks for the offer.. I wouldn't mind seeing how they fit.

90% DD, and dont like mud.

I highly, highly, highly suggest you going with some A/t's, Procomp or BFg. Or maybe some 32x11.50x15 MTR's..

Anyone heard or running the BuckShot Maxxis Mudder?
32x11.5 $115.25

Buckshot's wear a little fast, but are a great tire around here. I never had any problems with my Dunlop Mud Rovers or my Bfg Mt's. I'd sipe whatever tire you get for rain/ snow traction. Don't you think you're getting a little ahead of the game. 32's without regearing isn't all that fun. With the lift you're getting save up the scratch and buy the gears, then buy the tires a little later on and we'll put them all on at once. I know the voice of reason sucks, but you'll be much happier in the end. Otherwise stick with 31's and you'll still go the same places you would've with the 32's and crappy gearing.

Oh yeah, this belongs in mod tech- NOOB's
