Re: Tire advice
I ran 38's i downgraded to 36.5's.
The 38's with 4.56 gears were allright but i just destroyed way too much crap with them.
i went down to 36's for overall driveability and well i just got tired of climbing up there.
I origionally had 38/ 15.50 r15's from mickey thompson. wear patterns were great and road noise was manageable.
I Now swear by my procomp's! (x mud terrains)the road noise is minimal and the sidewalls are harder. ive had an entire bed of chopped mesquite and barley any sidewall bursting.
To me the procomps also have better channeling cut into them for mud and anythin sloshy. The mickey thompsons had better cold grip in the snow (still soft under pricking of a nail) and were more capable on sharp rocks.
if you want to see clearances issues check my build thread. i destroyed my front fenders with the 36.5s on a mud run. (i flexed they got stuck and curled my fenders in)
the 38's were worse. with a sky jacker 8in lift and a wedge block in there i couldnt articulate nearly as much as i wanted to due to tire rubbing. couldnt turn well either due to fender rubbing.
if you plan on running a10 in lift you will be ok.
BUT an important thing to remeber is CROSSOVER STEERING. You hit a bump with these tires you will know and it will be hard to manage.
