i have a 77.5 f-250 that is going to be lifted 6 inches and i was wonduring how wide of a tire would fit with out rubbing? also how well is the tire life of tsl radial, bogger, tsl, irok, driving on pavment for the price and the look.

 

if you use the forum search there are plenty of threads on tire ware for the swampers.
but im not sure on how wide you can go.

 

With the 77 f-250 & a 6" lift I'd say you'll easily clear 35-14.50 swampers, off the top of my head I think the 35" boggers are 15 inches wide, They too will fit without a problem,
if you are wanting a taller tire you'll probably have to lift it a bit more or do some fender trimming,
As stated above there are a lot of conversations about tire life, if you are not worried about a long life get what ever you think looks best, my favorite so far for ware & durability are the swamper ssr radials, My last set were 38-15.50-16.5's I got 23K miles before I took them off & they were still about 30% tread, the only reason I took them off was I needed them for my other truck,
if you do not have wheels already you may want to look into the toyo open country tires, that is what I replaced my swampers with & I'm pretty happy with them so far,

 

You can fit At least 37's with a 6" lift I'm not sure how wide becuase I like the skinny looking tires. you can get 36" IROK's for about 170 per tire, but I wouldn't recomend getting the IROK's because they don't have much tread and they don't wear very good. I would Recomend getting the TSL's 36's or 37's

 

i fit 38s on my 79 250 with 3'' lift and very minor fender modification(cutoff wheel)

 

I used to only have addaleaves in my 79 F250 and with 35" BFG All Terrains I could on get them to rub very slightly at full stuff. I now have 4" lift springs in it and have put 35" MTR's on it, which are about 1 1/4" taller than the BFGs, and I have all kinds of room for them. With six inches (which I am debating to do) you can definitly run 37's.
Just my two cents.

 

My '78 F250 has 3.5" lift and fits 38"x15" SuperSwampers on 16.5" rims. Clears everything fine. . .only area of concern that i can see is flexing it out on full lock and it might rub the front cab mounts.

 

i put a 6 inch skyjacker on ofr a friend and cleared my 38.5x15 boggers with no problems what so ever... a 39.5x15 tsl clears but i think it's gonna rub if you suff it back with the tires cranked too much...

 

As far as swampers go, the LTB is a great tire. Almos the same tread as the TSL, but it has some mean sidewalls, and they are cheap. I found 33x13.5R15s for $125 per tire on www.tyres1.com if you want to see what I'm talking about go here> http://www.intercotire.com/piclib/536.jpg I don't know what sizes they offer off the top of my head, but they are mean lookin tires.

 

ltb"s are nice looking tires but there small ,only go up to a 34" i believe

 

47 will be out very shortly


im running 44's with 6 inches and fender cutting, no rubbing lock to lock full compression or droop, axle had to be moved foward 4 " to clear body mounts

you can run 39.5x18's very easily with 6 inches...minor fender trimming at bottom corners

 

Hey RotGrubestier44 those LTB's you bought how are they wearing? How many miles do you have on them and how much tread is left?

 

I have a 78 Bronco with 7" of lift and I run 38.5x12" Super Swampers. They don't rub. As far as wear goes they wear alright. Mine have worn a little faster cause I had a spool in the rearend and I always burnout and do brakestands .

The tires are kinda loud going down the highway and if your getting a bigger size, when cold they have a "flatspot" until they warm up.

 

I dont care about noise or ride. I think if you want a quite ride buy some uniroyals.

 

amen brother!!! i run boggers and like it!!!!
