Mud or All Terrain opinions and pic request

[northy]

Hi everyone, I've been browsing here for quite some time and have learned a lot.
I own a 1980 k10 short box and its time for some new tires. I got the truck with 32x11.50-15 dunlop rv radial rovers on it and I really like the look/stance but they are in need of replacement. I am currently looking at bf goodrich mud or all terrains in the same size as the dunlops above but am curious as to how they would look on these trucks. I'd also be interested in going to 33s but am happy with stock ride height and would not like to lift the truck so i don't know if 33s would fit. Thanks very much.

AT's are quieter and last longer than MT's.....
AT's work really good in the desert and sand, also on dry rock....
MT's work better when things get wet offroad...
Both are great tires and handle well.
May try asking this in the 4x4 section, or look through the pic thread at the top of this page, Lots of nice trucks.

First, BFG's look good on everything.
Second, they likely cost more than a new set of Rovers.
Third, I've run 33/12.50/15's on GM 15x8 rallies on my 73-87 trucks/suburbans for 30 years and never lifted anything I put them on. The only way 33's might hit is if you have a set of running boards mounted far forward on the rocker panel. The tight spot is at the rearward bottom of the front fender where the fender lips in.

Yeah i have had both on jeeps and friends jeeps. If you don't wheel it much then go with A/T's. As stated above they really do ride better. They also look pretty darn good. But if you are like me and enjoy wheeling in woods trails go with the M/T's they perform much better and they also add that aggressive look

On a side note while i do like BFG's I found there side walls to be a little weak when encountering a trail object especially the A/Ts. A favorite tire between me and my friends is the Maxxis Buckshots. Sure they to had some sidewall punctures but they are a bit cheaper and more aggressive. there is a tire company in Florida that sells them with free shipping but i don't know if that applies to Canada.

Sorry i don't have pictures on a K10 but just thought i would share my .02
