I would suggest black round hollow ones filled with compressed air that fit without causing the truck to roll over on side slopes or rub on the body or affect the gearing or cost to much or mess up articuwatsit they must look cool but not be stupid and most of all shop around read up listen learn then make a decision and stick to it :wink:

But please be especially nice to Moderators :D

Back to the Question:
Mud Tyres are really a personal choice.

If you want "cheap" tyres, then remoulds are the best and of those, the best remoulds I've seen in MT are INSA Turbos - the Special Track is a 'Simex copy' and is very, very good off road - although it does loose some lateral grip on side slopes. It is very noisey on road and handles like a pile of steaming excrement

Of the 'proper tyres' on sale, depends on your budget. Personally, I like BFG MT - they're good in mud (not as agressive as INSAs mind, but do you really want to tear up every track you drive down?), brilliant on rocks and still handle reasonably on the tarmac!

Size wise, the 235's are pretty good, possibly with 85 profile or maybe 265/75x16 when a 2" lift is fitted.

There are loadsa threads on here re: wheels n tyres - happy hunting :D

Any tyres will do.....

Take 'em off, turn them inside out and you have a set of racing slicks!! Beat Lewis Hamilton this weekend in Brazil and you could end up World Champion too....
