Trying to choose a set of tires but Im trying to pick the right set out so bad Im starting to feel overwhelmed. I have a set I just purchased but I'm fixing to take them back because they didn't fit my rim. They're 312x1050x15 Mickey Thompsons. The rims are a 11 inch rim so I need to get 1250's. Does anyone have any advice on what tire to consider. I wanted the mickeys but they dont make them in an 31x1250x15 so Im considering the ProComp Xterrain Xtreme and the Super Swamper Thornbird.

 

The Thornbird looks like a cool tire, but in my experiance gets horrible traction everywhere-mud,rocks,sand, and pavement. The Xterrain has amazing traction everywhere, but they wear out VERY fast. Unless you have some custom built rims, I don't think they are 11" wide, atleast I have never seen a mass produced 15x11. They are most likely 10" wide and a 10.50 should fit fine.

 

Dick Cepek DC1 and we measured the rim with a rim tool and it was 11, well it was a friend maybe I should re-measure. The Mickey thompsons are a 10.50 and they show to fit a min rim width of 7in and a max of 9in and I think thats standard for all 10.50 tires

 

bet they're 10", did you measure inside the bead lip or outside. Outside is wrong.

 

I have ran 10.50 tires on 10" rims many times. However a 12.50 would be better. But if they won't give your money back, the 10.50's will work fine.

 

I measure today when I was at work up at the shop and it is a 10 inch rim. Still, even if the Mickey's fit they look dinky compared to the 1250. I like the way the wider tire sticks out. I just cant find it in the size I want. I test fit a friends 32x11.50x15 today and it rubbed Thats the size I think I want 32'a or 33's. I need to send my Mickeys back and I cut my fenders back so the 33's can fit. I dont have a clue on how though I have never done it before I guess Ill start to search away.

 

I cut the front fenders on my 2000 u just tap off so u don't mess the paint up and don't cut the washer fluid box I did on mine it sux but I just took the fender flare off and it looks bad ***

 

Thanks, I bought mickey thompson baja mtz in a 33x12.50 i already cut the front but it looks crappy so i have to clean it up somehow but the tires clear
