| I'll be planning on buying some 33" tires for 15" rim for my CJ7 in about a month or two once I get everything else taken care of. I was thinking of going with some Super Swampers or going with some tires from work, either Definity Dakota AT2 or Cooper Discovery STT. Any and all input is welcome. Jeep will be a DD as well as fun on the beach and going to the hunting lease. Don't care if they are quiet or not, just looking for a good tire. If I get tires from work I can get them for 10% off. | |

| I bought Pro Comp 33X12.5X15 for my TJ from 4Wheel Parts. Buy three - get one free. Got the mud terrain. So far, no complaints. Have over 10K on them and no noticeable wear. A little loud, but I like the sound.
Just my .02c. | |

| If you're going DD it, STAY AWAY from the super swampers, the Baja Claws and others like that. Also stay away from the Cooper's the have a long tread life...because they are too hard. My brother had them on his XJ and liked them, until the first time he wheeled it. He knocked about two or three of the side lugs off of each tire the first time he took it out wheeling. I suggest the Toyo's! They're expensive but WELL WORTH the money. LONG tread life, GREAT on the rocks and in the sand and very quite compared to others on the road. I have a little over 30000 miles on mine and about half the treads left on them. With proper and routine rotation, you'll get an easy 50000-55000 out of them. | |

| I hear Falken Wildpeak ATs are a very well priced and underrated tire. Super Swampers are really terrible on the road. I have ran 2 sets. KM2s are a good all arounder, but they get street wear complaints. Everyone and their dog swears by the Toyos. I run Goodyear MTRs with Kevlar, and I like them, but they are heavy. Awesome traction everywhere. | |

| I'm with Raul, I've been running 33" km2's for about 2 yrs now on my DD. They did great in mud and sand and in the rain. Great tread life, if they have one down fall it's balancing. thanks to discount tires lifetime rotation and balancing, it doesn't cost me anything. Cause it took about 6 months to a year to get them to balance | |

| Anyone here tried Cooper Discoverer STT tires? We have a set of 4 at work and to get them mounted and balanced I'm looking at about $1250 before my discount. Like I said, its gonna be a few months before I get tires but just pricing around and checking out different tires. Too bad Michelin doesn't make any mud terrains, lol. | |

| Since my Jeep wont be a DD I'm going to go with some Baja Claw TTC's. If it was a DD I would go with some BFG KM2's. I had some BFG's under a full size truck and they lasted a good while. | |

| I still love my KM2's. Next set will be too big, hopefully the 42" range, and thus I will mostly be choosing between MTR Kevlars or Pitbull Rockers. | |

| I used Falken Wildpeak A/T3W on my Jeep. I bought my wheel and tire package from 4wheelonline a few months ago. I'm impressed by her off-road performance and I love the fact that it's quiet compared to other off-road tires. I tried it during a long trip and I was not disappointed.
