After loving my 33x10.5 BFG AT's for the last year, it is time for an upgrade...especially after my recent SAS.

Found these X-Terrains on Craigslist today and snatched them up



I figure the 33x12.5's will be better than the 10.5's...Plus I am tired of how the AT's sandblast my sliders and bumper...

 

Suhweet, Marc! You gotta post some pics when you get 'em mounted. The rig's looking awesome, too.

Make sure you let me know next time you head down here...

 

That will look great. I went to 4wheelparts truckfest today and they were selling 37x12.50x17 x-terrains for $450 a set! I couldn't believe it, they were cosmetic blems but said they were gauranteed to be good tires.

 

I love my 33x12.5's, it handles much better than the 10.5's and I am not nearly as tall as you are. Right now my 31x10.5's are on the runner and I hate driving it compared to the 33x12.5's, so I could just imagine what 33x10.5's would feel like. What type of rims are you going to get? Post pics when they are mounted. Let us know how the xterrains do.

 

nice Marc! not a big fan of X-Terrains... but those should look great under the Runner.

 

I couldnt find much negative feedback on them, and for the price I figure I will give them a try....

They will probably work pretty good in the desert terrain here in So Cal.

 

Doesn't Toyopnoy run those same tires, Marc? Or are his 10.5's?

 

Same tire, but he is running a 16 inch rim.....maybe 285's??

 

great! Marc let's go smash them on some rocks!!! (sound familiar?)
I was going to buy a set of those but I thought they'd be too aggressive (loud) for daily driving.

 

They should look good on the Toy. You've got enough lift for the aethestics of it all too. Increased ground clearance is always a plus as well. Looking forward to the pics. When are you having them mounted? Just a note - I had to replace one of my BFG's after BB and decided to also buck up for the free lifetime replacement @ $16.00 a tire. Oh yeah, this was at Discount. They base the warantee on the remaining tread on the tires. Four Wheel Parts may be able to flow you a similar deal seeing as they are their brand. JMTC

I bet that will look badazz! I hope they work good for ya Mark.

Just need to get them mounted...but I am on vacation this week, so they wont be mounted until I get back to work.

 

How wide a rim are you gonna mount them on? I've been wondering if an 11.5 or 12.5 will fit a 7" wide rim for the longest time.

 

I am going to run them on my stockers for now...should be just fine.

 

Will any of the shops down there mount them on a 7.5 in rim? I know a lot of them in this area won't.

 

I will just have one of the guys at work put them on....I will keep my eye out for some cheap 15x8 wheels.

 

Should look cool. At least you have th 6 cyl. My 4cyl pepped up alot when I dropped down to 10.5, but I'm sure you have the juice to spin those.

AWESOME

 

yea those tires will probably get you through devils canyon!!!!

 

Looks like a good pick up.

I am interested to hear from someone who uses them in a more "average" setting. The comp compounds on the 40s are a whole different animal. You have rocks in CA and regular road, so I am interested in reports.

I also think this modest tire thing makes sense on those rigs, to a degree. I remember very distinctly hitting the road with 33's and 5.29's on my 3.0/auto. It really felt wound out, I always wondered how I was going to run more rubber when I couldn't run more gear.

 

If the 4wpw "TruckFest" show comes near you check it out. They were selling cosmetic blems for $450 a set for 37's at the one in Atlanta this weekend. They had the new extreme all-terrain and the x-terrains. At that price I almost bought a set for future use on a different truck.
