The Swamp lite is a great griping tire but it is soft. There are a few members here that have ran them and will probably chime in. But you will get side wall puchures if you ride in rocks.

Well I do get in the rocks and i also have 14' wheels too.

I have ran them in the past on a wheeler and they go great but do not wear well.

I would not put them on 14's IMO because of the sidewall

they are soft and wear fast. they got great traction. my .02 ditch the 14s if playing in the rocks

I ran the swamplites on my XTZ great traction but soft sidewalls and they wore out quick, I went with the bighorns next, kept them for 2 rides then switched again to the pit bull growlers, same tread pattern as the swamplite except its a 8 ply radial, it rides 10x better than it did with either of the other tires and will HOOK like its on tracks. more money than the swamplite but worth every penny. and Yes I have 14" rims too

X2 on the growlers I went 27.7 X 12 all the way around. 500miles they are awesome so far. Ride is super smooth. Totally different than the rockers. A little heavy. Go through stuff in 2 WD that others have to lock in to get through

I really like the looks of the growlers ya'll might have sold me on them.

My selection...............643 miles, 200 , at least ,on asphalt..........Bias-ply, heavy, you have to check the pressure to tell they are low. If you rim pinch one of these, you've broke something...........

Hey Hollon and Pit Dog why did you go with the Growlers instead of the Rockers?

simple.....everybody in my group has the Rockers so I bought the Growlers just for the argument of them saying yeah but you couldnt bust it loose like that if ya had these or you could have made it if ya had these, LOL, plus I liked my swamplites other than them not being a radial and only 6 ply. again, both tires Growler or Rockers are awesome tires, just like they say, quiet, smooth,and bite like a big dog.

Look at them side by side. The growler is a lot more aggressive V type tread,mud, roots, snow & do good on rocks. Rockers are a more of a big knobie a rock,hard pack. but it is a good tire.

GBC makes a great tire also. Grim Reapers and Spartacus.

Thanks guys all input is appreciated.

X2 on GBC

My reapers have nearly 1000 miles on them (several highway miles) and still look great with no issues...

M&G where did you buy them?
