Alrighty then..... now that the problem I was having with posting on here seems to be solved. I suppose I can post the pictures for you guys.[8D]


Excuse the crappy shots, it was cold, and dark, and... upside down. So yeah, but you can see the numbers at least.

A 10" wide tire would explain why they fit with no problem. A wider tire wouldn't. Doesn't your rover have a lift on it?

hmm, well I would of never guessed they were 34s..being 10.50 wide must be what threw me off. Im use to anything over 32 being 12.50 wide.

X2 on the lift..any idea how much it has?

If anyone knows of a tire that does anything on ice but slide - other than studded tires, that is -I know a lot of people that are interested!

Love the look on your rover, Street. I have been running the Nitto Terra Grapplers for about three years, now, and love them. Haven't been stuck, yet, off road.

those swampers run smaller than indicated which is why they work well with rovers. as for a recommendation, dunlop radial rover r/t.

I have Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor. They ride quite and have good traction. Black walls out of course.

I previously recommended Bridgestone Dueler A/Ts. After driving them on ice I have to retract that recommendation. They're decent in snow but suck on ice. I would have better traction on ice skates. I run Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors on my Dodge and love them. They're great all around tires. Ice, snow, dry roads, off road. Great tires. Pricy but great tires.
What size are you running?

I'm running P265/70r17 on my Dodge, white letters out. Next set will be the LT265/70 for the extra load capacity and thicker construction.

every swamper I have ever owned, and I have probably owned 16 or more, have all been larger than the size they say. I know for a fact 33s measure out to be 33.7 inches. I have a wore out 33 that is about the same size as a buddys 35 inch pro-comp with lots more tread.

I'm running Definity Dakota A/T (265/70/16) on my 03. The previous owner had just put them on and they are only sold at Pep Boys. They are made by Cooper and have a decent enough tread but handle well on the hiway and are quiet. They have a 50,000 warranty (40,000 on the M/T version which is a little more aggressive). So far I have about 10,000 miles on them and they are wearing really well. Here is a picture of the A/T and M/T from the Pep Boys site. They had a deal where you buy 3 get the 4th free.
