i drive a 78 f-250 4x4 with a 6 inch suspention lift and i want to run 38 on a 16.5 rim i was thinking super swampers boggers but i hear they ware fast on roads what would be a good tire on and off the road but i like the looks of the super swampers boggers cuz they look mean what else would be a good choise?

 

I am planning on going with the TSL radials but they come in 38x15.50x16.5. I also like the swamper sx but I had a friend that had a set and they only lasted about 20k miles

 

how far do u get out of a set of super swamper boggers?

 

BFG Mud Terrains are also good off road and last longer than most mud tires on the road.

 

Thats kinda like asking what kinda fuel economy I get out of a stroker big block, those two items should not be in the same sentence.

 

Haha, they don't last long at all.. but they perform really well. One of my freinds have them on his truck for mudding only and then he just swaps out with BFG's, I doubt you have that much money though lol. If I were you I would check out national tire and wheel, they have some good mud tires, and prices aren't too bad.

 

ok we've discussed this on several occasions so if you search or browse past posts you will prolly find your answer there.

most would say ground hawgs cause they have a pretty hard rubber compound but they aren't awesome offroad either. the TSL ssr's are very good offroad and they last a long time on the street... Ho is running a set on his PSD and they are wearing beautifully.

boggers won't last you much longer than about 15-20K miles... given how hard you drive and how well you take care of your tires and maintain them.

Unless you already have your rims, i would stick with a 16" rim if possible, as the 16.5" rims have use a gay tapered bead that can allow the tire to "fall" off the bead at low PSI (like 10 and lower), the 16" rims use a square cut bead and are a lot better when aired down.

For tires i have to agree with cutts, either the ground hawgs or the SSR's l

 

What size tires does Ho have on his PSD and what year is it?

 

i have a 78 f-250 4x4 and im told that 16 inch rims rub on the brakes so i want to stay with 16.5 alum rims

 

nope, not true, 15" rims will rub on the calipers, not the 16, these trucks came stock with 16's as well.

 

you need to ask whoever told you that smack themselves across the face and quit giving out bad info! i am running 16's on my truck currently. you could run 15's by grinding the calipers down enough but there has been much debate on whether or not it is still safe.

he is running 35" SSR's and it's a 97 PSD 4x4 standard cab long bed

wow, seems like every time i come on here(not much with school), the place is always polluted with "i want a tire thats good offroad but gets good gas mileage. people need to start doing searches.

 

ahhhhhh HAAAAA! Thank you!

finally someone with some sense , well spoken brotha'

-cutts-

 

Haha, we can't have that though, it takes wayy too much work.
