those swampers run smaller than indicated which is why they work well with rovers. as for a recommendation, dunlop radial rover r/t.
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.
Just a quick browse through Intercos website shows that 98% of all their tires run smaller than indicated. As in, they say a tire is 37x13.5 and say O.D.= 36.8. and so on and so forth.

But yes, there are a couple tires that measure larger than indicated. There is a TSL bias that says to be 33 and the O.D. is 33.7..For the most part. mud terrains run smaller than indicated.

I wouldnt say 98% are smaller..looks more like 50% are smaller than size and 50% are the exact size or larger..anyways, all the ones I've ran were larger..I just assumed all swampers were.

street wolf, if it isnt too much trouble could you measure the outside diameter of your tires? I have shown the pic to several people and we are all curious.

Currently, interco only make a swamper in that size if it's a SS LTB. Yet the sidewall isn't SS LTB.
The sidewalls are either SS TSL Bias Ply or Narrow SS.
So we are thinking they might be mislabeled.

Alright, I'll try to get a measurement sometime today/tonight.

Unbelievable - I ask about KC Daylighters and get shot down by a wall of flak and you guys are talking about running Super Swampers - Rednecks [sm=sick.gif]

Only kidding
