OFF Rpad tire questions...dont worry not stang related...

Could be imperfections in them..

Dude, Interco is the $hit when it comes to tires! They're the makers of Super Swampers, not to mention a slew of other legendary tires. I had little 30'' Super Swampers on my Cherokee with no lift, and i could bury it up to the frame and it wouldn't get stuck unless i got caught in a deep enough rut that it actually got hung up on the frame.

I will warn you though, when they say offroad use only, THEY MEAN IT. The compound is super soft and will cup really bad on the street and really fast. I only had about 20k on mine and they were almost gone, but i got mine about 95% new/used. Also, watch out for dry rotting, because mine were just a little old and in the end, i lost a chunk of tire the size of your hand going 70 down the interstate! But again, that's not a sign of poor quality, that's me disobeying the directions.

^ So I couldnt use these for a DD? I mean for the price I could replace them ever 20k if I needed too but I would like something as cheap as possible that can hold up on the street too...

Well i tell ya what....they say that they're designed for a quiet ride...so that would mean road use....let me rephrase and say don't use the original Swampers on the street since thats the only set that i've used for DD. Another thing that i'll caution on with pretty much any tire that puts offroad before street use, is that the taller the cleats, the more floaty your ride is gonna be. My Cherokee was honestly scarry to drive at 70mph, and i slowed down to rediculously slow speeds on exit ramps and in the rain they would slide pretty easy (but they don't hydroplane!, tall cleats run right through the water). You do get used to it after a while but once i put regular radials back on it was a shock how much better it handled.

Noise is another thing....it's BADASS at first because it's like driving a tank, but then after you drive it about 50 miles round-trip like i did for 5 days a week for 6 months, it gets pretty old pretty fast. Also, that was only with 30x9's....with a larger tire it gets even worse. My buddy had a 4Runner with 38s on it and it was almost overbearing on the street. But, that damn thing was unstoppable in the snow....we drove it through 5 feet deep ditches full of drift snow and it just plowed right through.

For a DD, i would probably go with the tried and true BFG All Terrains. They're pretty capable offroad untill you hit deep mud.

That price seems so cheap that maybe they are old. And i meant inperfections like maybe where it mounts tot he rim being skrewed and not letting it hold air.

Ok after some quick research I found a substitute thats still itnerco but a more street oriented tire....now heres the question 38" or 25" ...I have 15"X10 rims...I was gonna go with a 6" lift and can always get a body lift if I need one but this is driven everyday so im guessing im gonna need new gears if I get the 38"s...but any pics of broncos if you know the height would be appreciated!

If you've ever driven a truck with big tires and you know what to expect, go with the 38s because most guys buy the 35s and wish they got the 38s.

I dunno man...i paid 260 for all 4 of my Swampers but they were used...they were basically new, they were on the front of a mud runner and had never seen streets. They retailed about 150 each new.
