Super Swamper Thornbirds come in this size, but I wouldn't touch those tires with a 10' pole.

33x10.50s should fit without any problems. 33x12.50s will probably require some trimming/hammering. I have 32x10.50 Super Swamper Radials on my '88 pickup with no lift at all. They measure less than a 1/2" shorter than a BFG 33x10.50.

I just have never heard anything good about Thornbirds at all. The few sets that I've actually seen in use offroad sucked. I guess it's just opinion, but I know it's a popular opinion.

unless your truck is show only, they suck in every aspect that a tire could possibly suck.

small tread voids and bias ply. don't do well on or off the road.

think of them as an a/t with huge side lugs. they're made mainly for the pavement pounder/1st time buyer crowd

I think they look good!

I noticed something in that last photo though. Is there anyone out there who doesn't have a smashed up lower valence? We really need some sort of replacement for that which is a little stronger and doesn't require a new bumper.
