what tire?
im not a fan or the traxxis sp? or the ssr's they just do it do it for me at all, I dont really want a poser tire I guess and that what all the kids around here slap on there trucks.
they have some bitching military tires in the size I want but they take a 20 inch rim..Im not a fan of the blingity bling bling..
I might just suck it up and get the iroks and just try to smile when I have to replace the tires on a yearly basis.. if anything when they are getting worn I can run them on the buggy, just wheel em hard or burn em off with the big block
SSR's...
How many miles do you normally run per year? I just can't imagine wearing out a radial Irok (especially in the height we're talking about) in a year...

not sure on tires but kumho has some cool ones..idk that seals the deal for a truck so splurge and get the ones you really want
those suckers are crazy soft. i think i read somewhere of people only getting about 15k out of them.
Yeah I guess its all relative for how many miles you run each year... to me 15k-20k sounds pretty good for a soft, agressive tread but at the same time I do nowhere near the driving he does...
23k+ a year is a heck of a lot of driving! If I was doin' that much I'd be in a diesel jetta

Well I still not have decided on tires yet, its a bummer cause I really want to a run a 40 inch mtr but they dont offer it with any good load ratings
if i cant figure it out soon I may lower the truck back down and just get some 35-37 inch bfgs
also I m not happy with the front springs or the spring buckets, the spring buckets were designed around tj springs and I was not aware of it till afterwards, the springs, that ride great btw are a progressive rate spring and bow in the middle between the two spring rates. I hate it because it makes the spring bucket rubbing even worse. im going to choose a ride hight and weld on a perm. spring mount, or I may spring for coil overs.
