Dick Cepek Crusher Tires

[callmej75]

Anyone have these yet? They are a relatively new tire so I'd say hardly anyone does. What do you guys think? I am getting closer to purchasing this 89 4Runner since the guy hasn't sold it yet and I was thinking about getting these tires in a 33x12.50x15 to put on my 15x10 wagon wheels after I powder coat them gun metal gray. They look decent and may have decent on highway riding comfort. I can get them for $781 shipped....or maybe close to $700 shipped from ebay that sell blemished tires.

Oh and here is the 4runner...the guy said no rust (except on the valance which will come off and a small dent in the rear bumper that will also come off) and the 3.0 runs great. Thats kind of an oxymoron for a 3.0...lol Its for $1,850 so I'm going to try and talk him down to $1,500.

Comments? Suggestions?

I have no experience with those tires but I would worry that there isn't enough clearance to fit them with the stock suspension. Not a bad looking truck for the price though.

Truck doesn't look too bad, especially considering you can do the work on it. Don't know about the tires. I would vote for spending less on your first set of tires, till you know how the rig is going to hold up and its uses.

Yeh i failed to mention it would have bj spacers, a little t-bar crank, OME springs, and a RB BL...maybe 2" or so, so when I go to do the 4.3 swap, it won't be a pita for clearance.

Have you done the 4.3 swap before? I was considering that for my '87 4Runner but haven't looked up anything yet. My 22re gets better gas than oil mileage at the moment.

[callmej75]

Nah...but I have researched it enough. If you need any info, just let me know and I can point you toward vendors and answer some questions that you may have.

Skulls and Crossbones on the sidewalls.

F'n sweet.

Petersons or 4wheeler mag just did a tire test with these.

They were pretty excited to test them in the mud since they look similar to boggers. While they did ok in the mud, they didn't perform as well as they would have like them to have. Say they clogged up pretty good, but cleaned out really well.

Sand/Dirt- Awesome
Rocks- Did well in rocks, though aired down to 10psi, they didn't see much sidewall bulge. That could have been due to them being new tires, but they are radials so who knows.

On the street, not extremely noisy, but noticeable. They do caution using them on the road in wet/slick conditions as they don't have the sipping needed for for those conditions. That can obviously be corrected on your own dime.
