Help me pick a 36'' tire
Ok so I'm sticking with a balck steel rim and am getting a good deal on these so I here is a link to the rims I have, now I'm needing a 36 to put on them. I want a tire that will go at least 40k miles (good luck I know). From what I have heard about all Swampers is about 35k which is really low. I don't want to lose all agression on the tire by purchasing an all terrain. I'd like to avoid paying 250 bucks a tire. 200 would be the max or close to there.

Yeah I'm not trying to go over a 36 for the simple fact that when I had my truck re-geared with the 5:56's I was told that I could put a max of a 36 on there. Im seriously looking into getting a set of thornbirds for my truck. I've heard that with regular rotation I should be able to squeeze 40k out of them. I love how they look and I'm not terribly worried about off-road performance, I'm more into it for looks and semi-decent tire wear.

Thornbirds are teh suck. They're heavy, don't always wear regularly, and from what I hear, are a b!tch to balance also. If you want something about that size, I'd go with MTRs also. You may have to settle for 35s or 37s though, as I don't know that they make a 36" tire either. The only 36" tires I know of are Super Swampers and the Goodyear Humvee tires, but those are for a 16 or 16.5" wheel.

If you want a 36 or 37 new for $200 there isn't much. That size generally jumps up to around $300. National tire has a special on FCII and you can get a 37x13.5 for $199. Normally they are about $300. It is a relatively light tire for the size and I have heard they get good mileage and are smooth on the road. It may not be aggressive enough for you though.

I was looking into the STS but found that they wear quickly. Found better reviews of the Mickey Thompson MTZ and you can get a $200 rebate on a set.

Well I think I'm just stuck with the a 35 for the simple fact that most tires jump from 35 directly to 37. Interco has the most options in a 36 however they either are too heavy, or will wear down in 30k or sooner. SO I'm looking at grabbing a set of BFG MT's 35x12.50 for about 188.00 each.
