Ok well as you can see I just got a new truck and i cant get a tsl that will fit on this 17in rim.So I wanted to know if you guys knew a website that I can get some good prices on a mickey tompsom rims and iroks swampers.I'm gonna get the 36/13.50's.Hey do you guys know how good they are in the mud?The only bad thing is that they don't make a lift for my truck so i'll have to wait for it,but i was gonna buy the tires now and start saving for the lift after that.So let me know if you have any websites in mind and also go look at the truck and tell me what you think.

Yeah as you probably have noticed already our sizes are limited in the 17" rim. Personally I plan on getting IROKs next either a 36 or 37 - they are priced affordably and from when I saw them in action in the mud do pretty good. I should be testing a set out on my truck in a week or so, so I can update ya then and how they sound and handle.

Spope I see that you are from Central Fl. What part? I was born and raised real close to Ocala in a town called Floral Cilty. Just wondering because I go to alot of truck shows in Florida.

Put some 37x14 IROKs on my truck today and hit speeds of 65mph. There is some noise, but nothing drastic. We could still carry on a normal conversation when the windows were up. The hum does start even at low speeds and gradually pics up. Can't wait to get a permenant set for my rig.

Well they were on just temporary - no mud playing till I get my own set. But I have seen these tires in action on a 99 ram and did fling the mud pretty good. Cleaned out okay as well.
