Ok so a while back I sliced 2 swampers. I still had about 30% tread left ugh lol. Well here is my question. Should I put the 2 new swampers on the rear or front.

Rig
95
Around 4 inches lift.
Lincon locked rear
Lock right front
Off road only. 50miles of pavement a year.
Other considerations

32 11.50 15 tsl SSR's
I had a hard time finding ssrs due to not being produced right now. I decided to go with bias. I know tread is slightly different but could help with your opinion. 2 being radials 2 being bias. I would prefer which ever will wear out faster off road only to be the old swampers. Im thinking off road wise rear will wear out faster but unsure with front locked 2. I just locked front recently so have no experience with tire duration.

So
2 30% swamper ssrs radial
2 New swamper bias
Which on front which on back?

 

Buy two more so you have 4 new ones, keep at least one of the used ones as a spare. Sell the other as a spare. If that's not an option, put the new ones in the back, I'm assuming you use 2wd most of the time.

 

Not gonna buy 2 more until I use up what I can on the other 2. I would saw 50/50 on 2x4 vs 4x4

Just put 5k in wedding budget and have a 3 month old. 30% of tread is to much to waste. I already have 2 other swampers for spares.

 

how hard of off roading do you do?

 

60% trails (south so useually mud/washouts)
20% mud
20% rocks (at ORV parks level 3 and 4 trails)

Generally the heaviest right foot and going to attempt any obstical if ut look remotely possible.

 

How bad were the others sliced, you could have gotten them vulcanized. Then you wouldn't have had to buy new tires.

 

since you're lincoln locked in the rear, you may end up burning those bias ply tires pretty quick, so i'd maybe put those in the front and put your half worn radials in the rear, till you burn them up at least.
then buy 2 new bias to match the front and put the new ones on the rear...

 

No chance of vulcan. Bad enough to not even wonder if they could be. Pine knot ripped them from almost bead to tread. lol

 

The bias plies should hold up better.

 

I've seen them worse than that vulcanized but I'm not sure how well the radials would do. Most of the folks I wheel with run bias or stickies so it's not an issue.

 

They came in today yay.

 

I LOVE new tires. My swampers have served me well but have seen better days.
