I think I just got lucky

I have been cruising Craigs list for a month or so looking for 33" off road tires just to try them out with the few changes I have made lately.

found four 33x10.50x15 BFG Baja T/As. three real good one not so good. $450. OK I'll give them a try, can always get money back, at least most of it.

brought them home and started to look to see what a replacement for the "not so good" would cost. almost dropped my teeth!! $450-$550 each!

some kind of desert racing super tire that is not worth spit on wet pavement, likes to flat spot like a tennis court but is some kind of magic on rocks and sand while being almost inde-freekin-structable.

some days your the windshield and some days your the bug.

Why are there two differnt tread patterns?

Nice. Looks like someone was doing some customizing of the tread on 2 of them?

two of them have been cut/sipped whatever to try to make them more civilized in the rain. look close they were the same.

I never thought I'd see the day you would run 33" tires. Are these for the trip with Dave?

 

[IOPort51]

that's the plan.

I will get them mounted and balanced next week and see how they feel. this is going to make the T-150 a bit of a problem from the crawling stand point but I don't have time to get the T-18 in before the trip.

as it is I am afraid I am pushing the schedule with the new rear axle.

I had thought this deal had fallen through but I got e-mail tonight and picked up 4 %50 swamper TSLs for $200. Thinking about opening a used tire shop. Lord knows the world needs one more.

 

[Petescj]

You can never have too many tires. Looks like another good deal. You sir are on a roll.

So now you have street, rock, and mud tires. Sounds like your ready for anything.
What size are the TSL's?

 

[IOPort51]

TSLs are 33x12.50x15s
