Default Need some tire advise from you truck guys... super swampers, how loud?

I'm probably going to pickup a pretty much brand new set for my '87 Toyota beater/daily. How fast do these things wear out? How loud are they? Are they anoying? Will the truck ride better with them?

I figured that out... and talked w/ my pops (he used to have a 72 Blazer on huge tires). I'm not getting them... don't need the high noise and low tire life on a daily commuter truck.

Theres a few different types of swampers that you can get. Best thing i can tell you is swing by my work sometime and id be happy to show you differences and help you pick out what tire would be best.

BFG Muds have a great wear life, aren't noisey, stay balanced and will get you through most terrain.


I kick myself for gettin these interco (makers of superswamper) truxus mud terrains. They'll be worn out in around 25k, if that, and they've never balanced well. One of them came to me out of round, which is evedentally a common problem with interco tires.
