OK folks, the time has come to start the serious side of the mods...lift and tires. I've decided on 6 inch slee lift but the question is what tire/wheel combo. i'm going two sets, one for hunting/wheeling season and one for summer. i've decided on 37's and regearing to 4.88s unless im convenced otherwise.. i'm not sure on the winter tred yet. i've always ran TSL's for mud slinging hunting season and general wheeling, but tire tech has come so far sense then and i'm considering trying something new. what do you guys recomend??!! my hunting area consists of steep hill climbs in sloppy nasty stuff. i was thinking of going with some MT ATZ's for the rest of the year. also, i'll be running two sets of wheels. ATs on stockers with spacers and again, i need some help with the winter wheels that will run my more aggresive tires. please help a fellow mudder decide......:cheers:
 
If you live in Arkansas the swampers will be the best choice. You have the same terrain we run into over this way. You can dig out with a swamper, especially if you are on the path less travelled.

MTRs are nice all around tires. I am running 35s and about to go to 37s in this tire and it works on the road, pretty good in mud, and really well on rock. If I had a dedicated hunting vehicle which I knew would be getting out into the boonies I would trust the swamper.
 
I'm with Dan, except for the fact that TSL's are awefull for alot of road driving and wear quickly. For me, I'm in TN., I would run the Trxus MT's. Very quiet on the road. Better in the mud than any MT I've ever run (that's a bunch of them, BFG, Cooper, LTB's, TSL's, GY). Smack dab beat the MTR's hands down, and the Trxus are siped for road rainy weather and snow. They are the best all around tire you can buy. I had a set that were on a rig I sold with 30,000 miles on them. Still had about half tread.

The only other tire I would look into, might be the Yokohoma's.

Siping is what you'll need for winter driving. TSL's just don't do if your seing any snow at all (on the road).

Trxus for me, although the largest tire size they have right now is a 37, and that's starting in the 16" rim size. None for the 15's. Oh, and they measure true to size.
