I agree with you alpha/omega I live on the 3rd floor in my apartment and while I would only change the tires on weekends rolling the tires down would be fun but hauling them up would get old pretty fast. Im just not sure if if I bought another set of super swampers how life would be driving maybe 100 miles a during the week and then around 200 miles to get to the mud hole? so more like 600 a week plus the wear on them on the trail. God damn Houston (since spring creek closed). but are 37s still to big on the stock axels? I guess till I break them and my wife has to let me buy the d60s lol. But will the axel break first? or would you have some signs like a wheel hub breaking 1st or does it just go?

Yeah, like when ice cream is safe in hell, or Paul goes straight. Since neither is likely to happen any time soon, you've got a while.

Swamper SSRs or Radials might be a decent option. You probably wont get more than 25-30k but its better than 8-10k out of Boggers and 10-12k out of LTBs or SXs.

Rolling tires down 3 flights of stairs FTW!

One set of tires is the way to go, I useta put little tires on after wheelin to park my wheeler outside, but after doin it twice, I just said F*uckit, and park it in the shop now. But ya I'd say 37s are about the biggest I'd go on urs. And also Radials are the way to go for you.
