JPOR: Tires, again....

[James E Howe <James.E.Howe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I do hope I don't bore you people however I have yet another question 
about selecting the proper trail tire for my application, and was 
hoping for some insight from those of you that have more trail time 
than I do. 

I live in OH, so not much of an opportunity for rock crawling here. 
Mostly slippery wet off camber trails covered in moss laden rocks and 
roots. I am not big into mud bogging, but some times you don't have a 
choice.

85 CJ7 258 t176 D300"factory gears for now", D44 locker 4:10's D30 Dana 
LS 4:10's front. As you see, I am not running big axles or big HP. My 
biggest concern is axle breakage, next traction. I know that Super 
Swappers are the best, but I am worried about running a 33x12.5 tire 
with that much traction and weight. Again, I refer to my biggest 
concern, parts breakage. I personally think a 33x10.5 would be the 
right combination with the lug of a swapper, how ever the only ones 
that come in this size are the 2 ply radials. I am not to concerned 
about road manners for I am fortunate enough to be able to have street 
tires. So I am now thinking a 33 12.5 tire with less traction, like a 
BFG MT.
