Anyone run any of the swamper bias tires on a dd? I'm about to order new tires.
I'm running 33" radial swampers now. They have done well and I liked them. I really like the ltb because they come in a 34. I really would like to go a tad taller without going to a 35. I'm not 100% sure a 35 will clear and not sure how much it would kill the power, although I would like the 35 I believe

Most of the tries I'm looking at..the ltb and bogger. .are bias ply. How would they perform for and dd? Never ran a bias tires before.

Heard you get flat spots on cold mornings till tire warms up with bias ply.

^same as I've heard as well. That's my concern. I don't drive long distances..may daily commute is about 25 miles round trip. I'm in the woods a good bit with the truck hunting..no crawling or anything crazy. My 2 top choices are the 34" ltb or the 35x10.50 bogger.

I've always liked swampers just can afford them high cost and low tread life. Seen them perform great both LTB and Boggers. I went with KM2s, they meet my needs so far.

Any tire will give flat spots if itsits to long the bigger the vehicle the more you notice.

I get used to the square tire ride on Monday mornings.

Funny all we ever had was bias ply tires and the radials were just for the high end sports cars and touring cars.

think 35s will fit? it has a body lift on it. 4.88 gears. with the 33s i have decent power and get 19 mpg..im thinking the 35 will kill the power pretty bad though

I went 33's to 35's with 4.88 not bad. Speedo is a little off.
