It's time to buy a new set of tires and I was wondering what ya'll thought about 35 x14.50 tsl's. I've been running 36 x 12.50 swampers on 15 x 8 wheels , but I was thinking about going with the 14.50's on 10'' wheels for a little extra width. Is the added width going to make it harder to steer , and what about added stress on the axles ? I'm sure somebody out there has run both sizes , so any comments would be helpful. I just hate to spend $800 on a set of tires I'm not gonna like. Thanks.

I can tell you next week...my 35X14.5 boggers on 15X10 with 2.5 backspacing are sitting in my driveway right now!
IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5

Ive ran 35x15.5 tsl's, 35x16 boggers and 36x12.5 sx's.  The boggers were killer but they require lots of hp to make them work.  The 35's worked awesome I really liked them but they were too short.  The 36" were pretty good and tough as nails.  Its really up to you.  I havent really broken anything with tires under 36" in my big truck so I wouldnt be all that worried about running them on your truck.
Full hydro, 186:1 with an auto and 44's what could go wrong??
