With 3.73's you will most likely want to go to 4.10 or 4.56's with 33's. Without re-gearing you will notice a drop in get up and in 2wd. In 4lo you may not notice much but, on steeper inclines or sticky mud you will not have the torque you want to turn the tires as well. Since the 3.0 likes to be around 2500rpm gears will help keep the engine in its power band as well.

Any idea who makes the tires? I found people selling them but didn't find a manufacturer.

ok thanks ya i was told on here that with 33x12.5x15 i would have to regear i just thought with them being only 10.5 wide i might not have to regear

ok ya thats what i thought when i seen this ad i was like wtf? ive never heard of those tires so i emailed the guy to tell me the manufacture of them so i can look at pics

Yeah, it's the height of the tire that wil make you need to regear, not the width.

ok ya i was told on here about regearing that i would need new gears for 33" i just thought maybe that if they were only 10.5 wide i might not have to re gear but ya

I kinda remember a tire called Cat Trac back in 80's. Haven't seen them for years and years. Maybe those are what he's trying to sell ???

 

[mhughes165]

cat tracs came from the same era gumbo monster mudders, and ground hawgs came into there own.....
