give bias ply a try! thornbirds are where it's at

if you have any local jeep clubs with websites/forums check them out, and search craigslist daily because 650 barely buys stock replacement tires nowadays, let alone a set of new 33'' m/t's.

The only place i know that you could get 33" MT's are for that is from Tread wright, BUT they are recap's and you may feel different, but i dont want to run recap's on something i DD now if it was a weekend cruiser/mud toy that didnt see 3-500 miles a week then i would prolly go with them...

$650 is a pretty tight budget for "good" radial mud tires


I dont remember what I paid for my SSRs but I think it was around $900 with mounting and balancing - almost 10 years ago.

I have Falken Rocky Mountain ATS they are 265/75/16 and were about $640 installed, balanced etc.

They are an all-terrain, not too aggressive but not too highway either.

Check Craigslist or other local classifieds. If you have a low $ budget, then you'll probably find good deals. I just got a used set of 36" superswampers with rims for $300. The tires have a little rock rash but nothing too bad, and definitely worth that price. Just make sure since yours is a dd to check for dry rot and don't get anything too old.

I think you will be dis-appointed with them. They won't pull a "greasy string" out of a cat's ***
