In Reply to: Tire Questions, again. Sorry posted by Sean on Friday, January 11, 2002 at 9:54PM :
At dollartire.com the used 1100x16 XL's are as much as the swampers listed at that 4x4 site. I don't know the tread width of the XL's, but running a bigger and a wider tread width tire results in more road friction. This would seem to put considerably more strain the the 230. Bigger O.D. tires are nice to have, but I would try to stay as narrow as possible on tread width. Don't know what kind of tire wear milage you might expect from the swampers, but it has been mentioned on the forum that XL's may give 50-60,000. XL's with half the tread life would be a good dollar value!
