Tire report-Super Swamper Irok 36x13.5-15
Have been running these on the JK for about a month now and here is the deal:
36x13.5-15 bias plys on 15x10 pro comp steelies
Had to cut ends off front bumper and trim a bit.
Bolted up fine, no probs with 2.5 RC lift. No room for flex though so added 2" PA body lift. Still putting tires into the fenders on articulation so have fabbed up home made extended rear bump stops. Still a work in progress. Front only contacts fenders when have the disconnects disconnected.
On road, these tires do wander a bit more but they are a bit more aggresive than the Pro Comp mud terrains I was running. They do make some noise too, but it's tolerable. Runnning about 19psi in front and 17 in the rear to get a full contact patch. Mileage dropped about 2 mpg and I lost the use of OD except on flat terrain or downhill. Definate loss of power noted but it is driveable. Some have complained of flat spotting with bias tires but I haven't experienced any. Maybe cuz I drive it every day.
Off road:
AWESOME! Great flotation in the sand and these tires really grab. Can easily climb stuff that the Jeep struggled with in the past. Haven't had the need to air down farther yet but am sure that would help even more.
Bottom line; totally worth it!

Mainly city driving. Had to run the tires at this pressure to get a full contact patch!
BTW, feels like am driving on big marsh mellows! Old tires were load range D, these are C's.
Wear isn't noticable at this point.

Let's see if this pic thing works.

Should be doin some wheeling over the long weekend and will try to get some better pics.
