If you stay on road i really recommend BFG All terrains, they're the best in the snow and half way decent in the mud. But, if you do more than driving in the back yard i recommend BFG Mud terrain or procomp mud terrains there pretty good. But, if your hardcore super swamper makes alot of great products. I have had great luck with bfg at's and super swamper tsl's and boggers. (in reply to StephenK1706) Post #: 2

He got and Old Man Emu suspension and got away with it very well. My guess is that you might stay in the 31" and youll be ok. Brand? I have used while offroading and as a daily driver: Godyear MTR BfGoodrich M/T Procomp M/T IMHO the best is the Goodyear for offroading but for the BFGs are also tough to beat. I personally didn't like the procomp. < Message edited by PabloM -- 2/28/2005 6:30:24 PM > (in reply to mrnicks) Post #: 3

You can go bigger but when you go off road you will get major rubbing and the 245's fit nicely up into the fenders at full articulation. _____________________________ <--------Loosing Brakes on Lions Back, Moab!
