I’ve been hating the 205/75-15 Liberators I run now and been looking for another AT’ish tire to replace them….but am starting to think the slightly more aggressive. I like the stock alloys, tall skinny, this is a dual purpose driver capable of making to any mall (not that I have tried) yet go places untouched by shiney 4x4s frequently. I see lots of reviews mostly about Intercos larger versions mainly in bias ply and ginormous sizing, but not much on the little ones. Aside from going from the P stock tire to a LT is there much reason to not consider them? I am very stock w/3.73 trac-loc, yellow bilsteins, harbor fright winch, dana 28, 2.9l and FM145.

What does anyone think about SAM-70R a LT 215/85-15 Super Swamper Radial TSL for the street?

Or boggers. I had some worn out buckshot wide mudders and those things were loud as hell. Never got stuck though.

Look at the General Grabber at2. I have them on my truck and they pull good in the mud.
 
Thanks guys; I think i’ve bought myself some time by breaking down, wire brushing both rim and tire and lightly greasing both w/ this stuff https://beadbuster.com/product/acc-tml/

Early results seem promising, as I hope this removes the persistent slow flats...I doubt it will fix the problem with the bead area requiring frequent need to remove sticks and dirt.

Also while a legit looking part number, those swamper don’t seem to exist. However BFG offers an AT in that size https://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/tire/bf-goodrich/all-terrain-t-a-ko2 but also not seen in the wild.

I liked the last AT Cooper (rebranded Schawb) tires, not finding anything close under the Master Brand logo in stock sized 205s
 
I owned some TSL 29"x8.5r15 Super Swampers, bought used. I never did drive them on the street as they were for my race truck. I lost them in a fire a few years ago.
