Default Running and Odd Man Out with lockers

Tomorrow I am going to pick up some 33's for cheap. there are 3 baja claws 1 x terrain procamp, and a BFG all terrain as a spare. this is my DD and I know I'm going to get people on both sides of the fence. Should I run them or wait for a match set. both styles are discontinued and I would keep my eyes peeled for another M/T but I'm still kind of on the fence.

the only problem I see is how they are worn. Being they are different tires, check how much tress is left on each you're

Tire* also, be very specific.. It can make your ride very rough. Hope this helps!

If your lockers are auto lockers, their diameters have to match on each axle if you are running them on the street.

if they're no worse than those it should be ok... However that one tire will have a different tread pattern and I personally wouldn't want that on my DD rig.

The area I live in I can totally avoid the highway which I have been doing for the last year or so anyway. Im going to pick them up tonight and mount them to my 4" backspaced steelys and put the 31's back on my stock wheels. I can always put those back on if the 33's suck for the DD purposes.

Just an update for those that search and google. couple thousand miles and no issues no locker clicking going down the road while going strait. still would love to have a match set but these will do for the price.

Run the two claws with the closest tread depth on the front.
