I run 33's. There are alot of cheap tires out there. I tend to run what I know works, with a good reputation and don't put alot of factor into the cost.

With that said I like the BFG all terrains. I've ran a few sets with good results. A very quiet running tire and wears good. Never given me any problems.

For a more aggressive tire I like the Goodyear MTR's that were on my wifes Rubicon (factory equipped) But they made just a hint of road noise. Good wearing tire though, and tough as hell. I had 2 nails go into them that actually bent before puncturing the tire.

I wanted to run them again on our current blazer, but I thought the aggressive look wouldn't quite go with the stockish theme of the truck.

Go to Pepboys and get there Futura AT's. 138 a piece before mounting and all that stuff but alot cheaper than BFG's and they are an alright tire.

I normally run BFG Mud Terrains with good results. This time I decided to give the Mickey Thompson MTZ's a try. I heard they wear pretty quick, but usually on heavier trucks. I also read somewhere that they will wear decently if you rotate frequently. We'll have to wait and see I guess.

anyone know where to get super swampers cheap

Google super swamper blemishes, Try your local craigslist. you can also try some offroad forums in there parts for sale. 33s are usually a gateway tire and everyone is usually only going bigger from there.

From a guy that ran tsl radials, sx,s, Boggers, and thornbirds(for a VERY short time) They arent a very friendly on-road tire. So be aware, and I would not wish a set of thornbirds on anyone! I had a set given to me, and couldnt get rid of them quick enough.

Depends on how and where you'll spend most of your time. I like BFG AT KO's for mostly street use. They are just ok for off road use but will get you almost anywhere you would want to go. I run 37's and spent a lot of money on SSR's that were excellent off road tires but I ended up spending most of my time on the road and they make a TON of road noise and ride like crap. They were on my truck for about 3 months before I gave them away.
