i am looking into buying Super Swamper SSR 32"x11.50" R15LT or 31"x12.50" R15LT. Anyway i want to hear from people who run them now or have run these size tires before. i have the PP 1 inch lift springs in the rear nad Rancho's RS9000XL adjustable shocks all round, now is there going to be any rubbing with these sizes due to width? i want to gain that extra bit of ground clearance wit out sacraficing to much in power and stability. i also want a wide tire do to pot hole size down here in Belize. Maybe is there a different Super Swamper tire that has the same sizes? i will of course be getting 5 tires and i have already figured outaround $936us so not so bad. I am also looking at the Parnelli Jones tires ( http://www.dirtgriptires.com/default.htm )
Even though i can only fit the same size tire i had (Pro Comp Xterrain 31x10.50R15). Out of all the tires above, has anyone used these at one time? should i maybe stick with Pro Comp Xterrain? or go to Super Swamper or Parnelli Jones? Thanks in advance.

the 31x12.50 will probably rub more than the 32s because they are wider. i had about the same set up you did before my lift and i had 32 11.50 and they rubbed pretty bad sometimes. becuase of the width. the 31s would probably rub worse. but im not sure, if you have stock rims maybe not as bad and i would think. just add some BJ spacers to the front and that will fix any rub.

you can also search. there are alot of threads about rubbing tires on here.

i have 31 11.50s on 15X8s on my 91 and they just rub the mud flaps a little when the wheel is cranked, if i took my front mud flaps off they wouldnt rub at all

either of those sizes is going to rub worse than 33x10.50.

I'll go for the extra ground clearance of a tall tire over the extra rubbing of a wide tire any day!

I run 32x11.50 with no rubbing but they are street tires.
Im sure you could clear 33x10.50"s no problem.

i want a wider tire, cause down here in belize the wider the tire, the less you feel the bumps. small potholes but DEEP and sharp.

Don't Swampers usually run a little bit small for their size?

im not sure about that, but i know it seems to be one of the top 5 popular tire, and i need a mud tire for down here in belize, i just dont want directional tires again, Belzian tire "Experts" have never SEEN those type before! LOL, but any info is good info for me, the more the better...

my 32x11.5s dont rub much with a minor lift

i would go with the 32x11.5 or 33x10.5
