Looking for good mud tires for STOCK rims.

[OilPatch197]

14" rims, and I can't seem to find a good mud tire for stock trucks. I want to haul out some wood from the woods, and would prefer to keep my stock rims.

There are 28x8.5x14 super swamper TSLs available. They make them in both bias and radial.

any sites with a price chart? I'm still not finding that tire for 14" rims.

moving up to a stock 4x4 ranger 15" wheel will open up your options quite a bit.

You will probably have to order them from somewhere local...I have never found anywhere that carries weird sizes like that online.

I think they're usually like around $100 each.

Summit Racing will sell them, even if they're not listed on their site, you'd have to call an ask to get a price if it's not on their site, but they're good about stuff like that.

Holyford is right though, stepping up to stock 15" rims will give you a ton of options.

but would that mess up my gear ratio? ...then my speedo will be off.

No... Tire size changes your speed, not rim size...

As long as you can stay close in tire size, it doesn't affect your speedo and performance all that much.

I went from 225/70/15 stock tires to 235/75/15 on my Ranger (hint, there's a calculator for figuring out tire size, conversion from metric to standard and vice-versa in the tech pages on here), I think I lost a lil power but nothin to cry about, and my speedo seems to be reading correctly according to every police radar box thing I've gone past on the side of the road.

I'd just use the calculator to figure out what the overall tire size that you're running now is in inches and then try to find a similar size for a 15" rim. Or post up your stock tire size and someone here will figure it all out for ya.
