I drive through "my" creek all the time but it has a fairly hard bottom. My buddy's creek has a pebble type bottom. He Dug quick with 33x14.50 super swampers. He said my tires would do better cause my lugs are closer. I run 31x10.50 Nexen Rodian M/T's I've yet to have any complaints or problems but I have never driven thru a creek of this nature. I don't have a winch like my buddy either

You could dug a little slower but the difference between the lugs are not very important at that point. Simply because the sand can move pretty easily in water. The weight is the killer. at equal weight, you'll end in the same position. You could even , on a certain side, dug faster because your tire will have less large grip on the bottom and soft surface.

I'm sorry lol I suppose would my tires do okay or better in a small rock/pebble creek bed than my buddy's big super swampers like he claims. Cause he said his tires dug him quick and mine would just go over the rocks.
