So--for those who have wheeled for some time---can you remember you tire size progression from your first wheeling experiance to what you have now..

My first trip out---so 31" odd ball tires.
Soon after I went with 33" TSL swampers and went thru 2 sets (alot of road driving)
After that I ran some 35" boggers--- ya.........
Then I went to a set of 38.5 sx's and have gone to my second set.
 
I was fortunate enough to run around with others who progressed in a similar fasion and I went directly to 35s, then 36 tsl and will be on the 38 tsl.:awesomework:
 
Stock 27 inch doughnuts.

33 inch "prospector AP"

33 inch BFG AT

33 INCH BFG MT

33 X 10.5 Swamper TSL radial

35 Maxxis Creepys.
 
stockers to 31" noname muds

33"TSLs, 1 and a half sets. I bought 2 new ones at 50% tread and rotated through them since I needed a spare.

36" SX's ran them for along time.

Bald 38.5" Sx's got them cheap and built the ftoy so I upsized.

New 38.5" Sx's ran them for this spring/summer. Just in the process of selling them

Bought a new set of 17" beadlocks and got me some Red Label Krawlers for the 2008 Werock comp season :awesomework:

205/75-15's for about a week
then 30x9.50 TXR's (for sale)
then 33x13.50 LTB's (current)
but now I realize quit wasting money so I'll skip the 35's then 37's- I'm going with 39.5 Iroks next.

Waaaaayback... on 700R-15 Michelieniez all over the PNW!
A 9.00x15 was big and 31's were the cHiT.
Then the 11.00 TruTrac's.
On to 12.50R 33's Mudz
I can clearly remember the first set of 44's that I saw... HUGE in like 1983(?).
Then to 36" TSL, back to 35" BFG
Then to 9.50Rx15's on a 2WD Ranger...
The most hard core wheeling (and fun) lately was a local trail on 28" Snow tires. Forces you to drive it.
Next set will be in the 37" bracket, but having tun those 28"s I'm wondering if going back down might not be a bunch more fun!
 
28" Chaparalle A/T's came with the truck
31" A/T's (2 were BFG KO A/T's, 1 was old style BFG A/T's, 1 was odd ball A/T)
38.5" Boggers
