SayBye Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Let's see the mj's on 34" TSL's or LTB's! See a lot of 33" and 35" builds but not much with the 34x10.5's :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddFoot Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 i had them on my xj i loved and hated them. i loved the look the way they pulled offroad and they lasted a pretty good while..the hate suck in rain suck on new wet pavement and loud as hell every where. when you first get in they beat you to hell till they warm up. if they sit to long you will get flat spots... id buy another set but not for a daily driver again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Swampers are pretty hardcore. I had some on a K5 (LTB's) and they were awesome aired down while off roading, but they really sucked every where else. I switched to BFG KM's, then KM2's and they do pretty much the same thing off road (except in really, really deep mud and clay) and are quiet and comfortable enough for a daily driver. They're even good in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 BTW, 285/75R16 is fairly close to 34x1050. I think most manufacturers' tires in that size end up being something like 33.5-34" tall and about 11" wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SayBye Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 I ran them on my TJ. Just wanted to see a couple different variations on an MJ. Hope to have them on it in a few weeks but with a 3" BDS lift wasn't sure how they would fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86FUBAR Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 In my experience Super Swamper is one of the few tire manufacturers who's tires actually measure out to the advertised height . I ran some 33-12.5-15 TSL swampers on the manch and loved them and everything everyone says about their on/off road characteristics is true ! But I loved them , the noise is like music to my ears . I also ran some IIRC some 31or 32 9.50-15 pizza cutters for a wile and liked those just cause they were different though I never wheeled them.

Incommando Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 285/75/16's usually measure less than 33" tall and nearly 11.5" wide. The closest in a metric would be 255/85/16 which are about 33.5 x 11. As posted above Swampers are one of the very very few tires that measure up to their height claims so the 285's would be 1.5" shorter on average. I have run Swampers in 32x9.5 on a couple of jeeps. I kept a set to throw on my first MJ for off road use. For my area the tall skinnies work very well off road. But the traditional Swampers suck on road and that is why I do not have them on my current truck. I knew I would not be off road enough to justify them.

benjy_26 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 That's weird. Maybe Yokohamas run big. My 285's on the ram measure a bit over 33.25 and they're woooooooorn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incommando Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 They may well be that tall. I try to include "on average" or similar wording as a given brand of tire's actual dimensions can very greatly either way from the advertised size. Actual measurements on a vehicle can be effected by many things as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
