Re: best bang for buck on 33" tires

I run 33's. There are alot of cheap tires out there. I tend to run what I know works, with a good reputation and don't put alot of factor into the cost.

With that said I like the BFG all terrains. I've ran a few sets with good results. A very quiet running tire and wears good. Never given me any problems.

For a more aggressive tire I like the Goodyear MTR's that were on my wifes Rubicon (factory equipped) But they made just a hint of road noise. Good wearing tire though, and tough as hell. I had 2 nails go into them that actually bent before puncturing the tire.
I wanted to run them again on our current blazer, but I thought the aggressive look wouldn't quite go with the stockish theme of the truck.

Re: best bang for buck on 33" tires

I normally run BFG Mud Terrains with good results. This time I decided to give the Mickey Thompson MTZ's a try. I heard they wear pretty quick, but usually on heavier trucks. I also read somewhere that they will wear decently if you rotate frequently. We'll have to wait and see I guess.

Re: best bang for buck on 33" tires

Google super swamper blemishes, Try your local craigslist. you can also try some offroad forums in there parts for sale. 33s are usually a gateway tire and everyone is usually only going bigger from there.

From a guy that ran tsl radials, sx,s, Boggers, and thornbirds(for a VERY short time) They arent a very friendly on-road tire. So be aware, and I would not wish a set of thornbirds on anyone! I had a set given to me, and couldnt get rid of them quick enough.

Re: best bang for buck on 33" tires

Depends on how and where you'll spend most of your time. I like BFG AT KO's for mostly street use. They are just ok for off road use but will get you almost anywhere you would want to go. I run 37's and spent a lot of money on SSR's that were excellent off road tires but I ended up spending most of my time on the road and they make a TON of road noise and ride like crap. They were on my truck for about 3 months before I gave them away.
