Does anyone know of a good/cheap mud tire in a 14". The swamper is nice but TOO EXPENSIVE! If anyone has them used in Oklahoma I check'em out. Thanks Lee

theres not very much.
the ones i see are just a M\S tire.
LT27+8.50+R14 is one of very few sizes that LT, M\S tires are made for 14" rims
there are some 14" tires that have a rating of P, but there a H\D P tire, you can save 5.00 to 35.00 bucks a tire or so.
but there not ment for all rock roads, just a long rock drive way.
or some on road, bad weather.


75-series 14" Radial Tires Size, Tread width, Cross Sect Width, Overall diameter, Rev/mile, Rim Width
...................185-75R14 ............4.8................. 7.2................ 24.9..........809....4.5-6
...................195-75R14 ............5.1 .................7.7 ................25.5 .........790....5-6.5
...................205-75R14 ............5.3 .................8.0 ................26.1..........773....5-7
...................215-75R14 ............5.6......................................26.7.......... 755....5.5-7.5
...................225-75R14 ............5.9......................................27.3 ..........739
...................235-75R14 ............6.1......................................27.9 ..........723

the rest of the sizes for bigger rims are at this link.

Get 15's and you're gonna find that a LOT more options will open up and a LOT more CHEAPER tires also, and that TSL swampers in a 15 are NOT expensive compared to the competition... :wink:

What size are you looking for?

If you have to keep the 14"s I would look at the Firestone Winterforce Tires they have very good mud slinging abilities. And are rather cheap too.
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Sizes.jsp ... interforce

I use them on my 4x4 81 though I am running 15"s at the moment. I did use them on my 14"s and was able to handle just about anything that a LUV should be asked to tackle.

Thanks
Gareth
