choosing a set of tires input needed

i have a 95 ford with a 4" superlift 15x10 rimsand 33x12.50 mud kings


im just looking for a more agressive look for it wheel and tire wise.
ive already got a set of 15x12 micky classic IIs for it..the 15x12 will give me the wide look i want now for the tires, got it down to these
33x12.50 baja claws
33x12.50 tsl
33x12.50 tsl radials
or the one im leaning twords a 33.12.50 ground hawg

but it i cant find alot of pics with truckswith 33s on em so i dont know how well a 33 ground hawg looks, ive seen some pics with swamper 33s some look preety tough other sets look kinda weak
anyone have any input on wich of the above set would give me the aggrssive look im looking for?

if you're looking for aggressive look for some tires with some sidewall lugs as i think that gives the tires a mean look. The claws look great but will wear fast. Have you thought about swamper SSR's?

ive thought of the ssr they just seem to be alot higher then the other tires, if i was gonna spend close to 200$ a tire id go with a 33.14 bogger

The wear rating will offset the $$ The Boggers will wear much faster than the SSR's! Interco was right up the road from where i grew up so everyone around runs Superswamper.

If you want a good look and a good off-road tire, I would say go with some Super Swamper SX's... I think they look the best, but they are not made for the road.Super Swampers are bigger and heavier than other tires, so when the say 33x12.50 they mean it. I have seen a set of 33's measure out to be 33.25. Any other tire you measure will be around 32 to 32.7 inches.

I run:
BFG Mud-Terrain KM's. Great off-road-Good on road.
BFG All-Terrain KO's, Good off-road-Great on road.

Also there are the BFG Krawler's if you got the $$$.

Go for function, not for looks... Unless you got the Ben's

reman tires

If your looking for a super aggresive tire for a great price, check these out. http://www.high-tec-retreading.com/ They remanufacture tires and use commercial truck rubber(hard stuff) to build the tread section. Had mine for about 3K also and no visible wear. Great mud tires.
