Ordered My Tires!!! Now Just Ticked Off

Super Swamper 34x9.5 R15



Found out these tires are on back order... They don't know when they are going to get in, they have the 10.5 available but I don't want 10.5.

Nice. Wait and get what you want. I wouldn't settle for anything else.

Those look just like the tires I put on my wife's Camry Those should rip some earth up

Dont know where your planning on going with your truck but im sure you'll get there with those, Turn up the radio and you'll never hear them

You will need to rotate those more often than you would a more conventional tread design.

I wanted 33x9.5 R15 Radials, but they don't make them anymore. BF does, but they are all back ordered!

Yeah I was reading on that, I think I am going to rotate them about every 5000 to 6000 just to be on the safe side.

Anyplace as long as the mud isn't deeper than my tire!

Excellent choice. I've bought about 20 sets of those on my '63 since 1984.

[ford4x4fun]

Call it my Colorado Roots, but I have always liked the skinny tires, to bad no one makes them anymore. Hopefully the 10.5 wont stick out the side of the sheet metal. But the Radials will last longer because although I love 4 wheeling, the truth is the tires will see more city driving than off road driving!

[fomocoguy]

They shouldn't stick out. I had 33x12.50's on my truck before I switched to the NDT's and they just lined up with the fender lip, so your's should be fine. I liked the swampers, but the BF is a great tire too. You should be very happy with it and it's street manners will be markedly better than the swampers.

[Mancar1]

Heck, those look great. I have Bf's on my 68.

Thanks guys for the comments. I am still a little upset, I have saved for awhile to buy the exact tire I wanted, and it is just kinda depressing not getting exactly what I wanted. I could have gotten the 34x10.5R15 for the same price, as the 9.5's but I was all ready pushing the limits of what my truck could fit under it. And I am not a big fan of body lifts, and the 3" lift that is on it makes the truck sit perfect for my liking. So I guess I will be happy with the BF's and just suck it up!

I know it's probably too late, but the 34x10.50 Swamper LTB only has a 9.2" tread width. http://www.intercotire.com/tires.php?id=7&g=1

And their site still shows the narrow SS in a 34x9.50 http://www.intercotire.com/tires.php?id=8&g=1
Is that the one they said they couldn't get?

Yep the 34x9.5 has been on back order for awhile. I am still worried about the hair wider tire, clipping the fender. And since I am not home to measure I am going to go with what fits. But that is good info to have the next time I will need tires. I could probably call and cancel my current order, before it ships but I know for a fact the BF tires fit. So I will suck it up and go with those ones, it will save me about 150 dollars going that route as well. I can put that towards the AC system or something similar!
