What's up guys. This is just something that I've been trying to decide for the past week and can't seem to see what to do. It's probably silly I even post it up here but I figure I'd give y'all something to chat about. For now, I've got 32/11.5/15 Cooper STTs. Which are a mud tire (for those of you who do not know). I've got a friend that would buy them now for $500. I've probably got near $700 in them and I've had them for over a year or so. I've probably put around 15-20k miles on them.

I've told myself after these wear out, I'm going to lift the truck and go with some 35s. But here I am, and I'm not ready to drop the change to lift the truck and buy tires as well, but I don't think the tires will be worth the $500 when I'm ready to lift. For right now, the truck sees back woods trails, and probably 80% on road driving, so I was thinking about just throwing some 33x12.50x15 BFG A/T KOs on it for the time being to just use the truck for what I've been doing (hunting, woods trails, getting to bonfires,etc). The M/Ts are fun, it just doesn't seem like I use them for what they are anymore.

So, what would y'all do?

I have the BFG at ko's on mine and they are great. I dont have a complaint yet and I do about 70% road driving and 30% off-roading.

do it and get you some cheap tires off craigslist or some thing for now until you have the money for the lift and tires

I picked up a set of 33 12.5 15 bfg at's a few months ago. No problems so far. I like the look of them

People say they get great tread life out of them

sell the tires and get some cheap ones in the meantime.

I'd say keep the coopers on your truck until your ready to lift it

Keep them or not but if you don't, don't get all terrains.. just terrible mud tires...

So many choices. Lol. I appreciate all the input though, guys. I think I might just stick with my M/Ts for a while longer. They've never let me down. I feel like even though the truck has locked differentials front and rear and that I'm fixing to finally buy a winch soon to drop into my bumper, it would limit the truck much more. The weight of the 33 STTs only weight around 2 lbs more per tire, so I'd only really be gaining less rolling resistance and maybe 1" more tire for gearing. It doesn't drop me down THAT much. I think I'll wait for 35s. That'll make me happier.

Good choice man!

Thanks. Haha. Always nice to have y'all tell me what's up. Just washed the truck actually. Gah, I love white letters
