That's exactly what I'm running in my 44's now. Tread wear seems to be minimal! I suggest to anyone else looking to make a Swamper last longer that you leave them on the patio. It's amazing but almost 2 months now and I haven't seen any change in my tread.

Yeah, that'll work Ivan.
Better idea would be to get the biggest darn AT tire you can and an extra set of steelies for the drive to the event, that way your big soft-compound tires never see pavement except for when you're mallcrawling like Ivan.

[INSERT TECH]44" Swampers do a really great job of propping up a BBQ. Additionally, if you lay it on its side and throw a trash bag or some other liner in the wheel you can fill it with ice and throw a few drinks in there. The advantage is if someone falls while they're reaching for a beer the Swamper's soft compound will break their fall nicely.[/TECH]

Ivan, How do you ever find time to work on the truck? I see your post count is higher than pro's........you have only been here a year and a half, You must have a puter out next to the truck or something.
I run my rear boggers at 14 or so, and the front gumbos at around 20 for mud.
In the sand I like to lower the pressure until the sidewall wrinkles, About 14 in the front and 11 in the back.....but that was with some other 38's I had, I haven't had the boggers on the dunes yet.

44" Ground Hawgs:
-30 in front
-20 in rear
49" Iroks
-22 front
-15 in rear
Then again you have to think, my truck weighs 9,200 lbs and 70% of that weight is over the front tires. Darn diesels.

With the way it's setup, I can do 45 MPH with the 265's, 67 MPH with the 44's and 74 with the 49's. My rear driveshaft RPM is limited to 2000 RPM due to angularity differences between the t-case and rear axle u-joints. I've got to turn my rear pinion up 3.5 degrees and put in a CV on the t-case end. Then I'll be good to 80 or so with the 265's. Not 80 or so with the 44's or 49's though. THAT would be stoo-pud.

I had about 18 in all mine, but for street driving, I am running 30. They seem to handle better 
Mine also are lasting, but that is probably due to the fact that I have only put about 600 miles on them in the past 2 years. Working on stuff really increases the longevity of swampers
