They are mil tires off a LAV I belive. So far no real problems with them, not as grippy as Iroks on rocks and I dont do mud so no idea there. 5500lb rating per tire I dont think Ill overload them

So why switch over from the burb exactly? Just want to do something different, or try not to bang this one up so much?

I recognize that can, Kirklands baby formula from costco, buy the same stuff for my son, I guess I need to start saving the cans, maybe a custom snorkel

Great build, shorter wheelbase should help on the rocks.
