Hey guys... I am sick of replacing my "swampers" ever year.
Is there a 38" mud terrain out there that lasts ALOT longer?

General, Parneli, Dick Cepec, Ground Hogs...ect.

Please help! fast, I need tires!

Thanks!

yeah, i have replaced my swampers twice in as many years, I'd go with Ground Hawgs. My buddy has had his for 4 years now and they're in better shape than mine which i bought new a year ago.

Someone told me that the thornbird lasts longer than a swamper, is this true?

I knew I should have got groundhawgs.

Maybe next time, in a year or less...

Thornbirds are HORRIBLE... if you want the maximum bang for your offroading buck.. get another set of rims... and swap on your Super Swampers for wheeling... (even to get to wheeling) and then keep another set on your rig for daily driving... Yea.. that contradicts the saving money plan.. but in the end I think you'll be happier..

I see Swampers outperforming the Ground hawgs with ease... I guess it comes down to how hard you wheel your daily driver...
