1 of my friends has a set of 33" BFG mud terrains and they don't vibrate at all. Another one of my buddies has a set of 35" Pro comp mud terrains and they don't vibrate at all but are very noisy. Another one of my friends has 38" Super Swampers and I wouldn't daily drive that truck to save my soul. They vibrate, are noisy, and he's only got 5k on them and they are half gone.

I agree with Blue. Some mud tires vibrate, some don't. It depends on the tread and manufacture. My bro has Mickey Thompson Claws, I have Big O mudders. His vibrate, mine dont.

Oh yeah. My buddy with the pro comps had Mickey Thompson baja's and he said they howled and vibrated pretty bad.

i run 36" SS TSL radial,,,they dont vib too bad for how aggressive they are, but they scream loud goin down the road

If its not balanced correctly, even a BFG MT will vibrate. Ive had Swampers, Mickey Thompsons, and BFG's on my Jeep and the Swampers were definately the most noticable..........although the best in mud

I had 35" Xterrains, 38.5" Swamper SX's and 38" Hawgs. The swampers sucked. The Xterrains were great, but I did not rotate them enough and they cupped. The Hawgs are great.

bias tires vibrate radials don't i've had ss tsl radials,ss thornbirds,ss sx's,pro comp xterrains,bfg m/t's,ss ssr radials. the thornbirds and sx's sucked the thornbirds had such a bad death wabble they caused me to lose control and put my jeep up on two wheels and end up in a corn field. i will never buy a set of bias tires again they look cool but ride like crap.

My 305/55/20s have about 20K or so miles on them and no problem. I've also had 35" BFG M/Ts on my 98 for a 6K road trip with no vibration... but usually ran that truck on 38 Swampers and it'd didn't feel bad to me... just a roughride overall on that truck.

But yes, you're gonna get your problems from bias tires... especially when it's cold and has been sitting for a while until they get warm and even out. Radials, no probs.

(My 38's were radials... it's those reasons that I didn't go with the 39s's which were bias plys.
