TSL radials would be my first choice for that size if its driven on the road a lot. Boggers are available in that size too. I doubt either of those are cheaper than the KM2 though.

Federal couragia mt. Awesome tire in my op. In the mud they are better than most tires except the mud only ones. And they do great in rocks.

My friend has a set of KM2's the exact size you want and my 32's are the same height as his 33's.

I assume you want a mud tire. Check out general tire grabber, wrangler m/t, kumho road adventure...check out tirerack for tires.

Federals are great grippers, but 25,000 miles later they are bald as hell. If you do go with federals, they run a little narrow

Good to know. I really hope get 25000 . That woulf be great!


One thing I noticed about the federals. They hold a great bead.

My swampers just plain came off the rim with low pressure. My mtr's burped air at low pressure. These federals I can run as low as 10psi and they don't burp.or budge.

It's all about rim size vs tire width.
I have 15.5 swampers on 12in rims. I run them down to 8 psi usually. Never had any reason to go lower.

Well these are a lot skinnier than the swampers I had or the mtr's. I know in off road racing the tire make often dictates how well a bead holds.

All I do know is they hold well. And the tread width is only 7in which I like.
