I ran 33x14.50x15 Boggers on a 2000 chev shortbed.

They are Excellent in snow and mud, but on the road they were very poor, I got not quite 20k out of the and they were shot. I you want a good compromise and want to stay with Super Swamper's I would suggest Super Swamper SSR's[/img]

Wow that is one agressive tire. I had them on a older chevy I had back in 1990. I loved them for off road driving. But on the pavement they were terrible, just like dirty harry said. I know use BFG Mud Terrains.

I'm going to run the LTBs on my 86 toyota as it's light and does not see a bunch of use. On my 99 Dodge 4x4 Cummins quad cab they did not do well due to the weight of the truck- but they sure would dig :grin:

If this is a daily driver and you really like swampers go with the LTBs or maybe the IROKs. However I've been really happy with my Buckshot radials. They have the same pattern as swampers TSL (slightly smaller tread blocks but still big enough gaps to hold a 3/4 inch socket). The best thing about them though is they wear like steel. I have a heavy farm truck, locker and no respect for rubber but these things are still going strong.

I have been using Nitto Terra Grappler All Terrain tire. Very aggressive and work well on and off the road.
