They are cheap tires and don't really work that well buddy of mine used them once he was not happy with the performace in the mud

There's a reason they call them "thornturds" !!!

5 reasons not to buy them. They're heavy, almost impossible to balance, bias ply horribly noisy, wear fast + unevenly, and they suck offroad!

so they are a big pile xp what would be a better set?

Super Swamper TSL-Blas or TSL/Bogger-Bias. Buddy has the Bogger-Bias and he loves them. Mostly used for crawling. Do not know if that is in your price range.

the super swampers are nice but they wear fast on the road and are 300 a tire

price wise im gonna try to keep it under 160 and it is a DD so anyhting tht wears too fast isnt going to be good for me

look into some mud terrians or all terrians radials of course i have some trail cutters they are cheap but they work awesome in the mud and snow and handle great on the road no noise

redjeepZJ

How much do those trail cutters run?

89PBR96

I'm not sure but i don't think they are that much they are tempra trailcutter M+S Radials
i found a 245 16 not sure the hieght but they are 120

This is true. Well then i would go with BF mud terrians. Thats what I am planing on doing.

I was looking at those, they seem pretty solid would i need new rims?

its cheaper to buy a tire and rim combo most of the time plus you can upgrade the look of your jeep i have fake summit bead locks on my jeep nothin speacial it just depends my dad just bought a set of 33/12.50/15 bfg mud terrians and a set of eagle polished wheels mounted and balaced and shipped to his door for $1,100 but you can buy cheaper tires and rims for a package like 600 or so look around before you buy good luck man
