Whatever you do, DON'T GET THORNBIRDS...that's my opinion btw. I had a set of 35"s, and they were by far the worst off-road tire I've ever owned.

trxus m/t are impossible to balance pretty much...

since its your DD i would go with ltb's or the pj dirt grips...

Those tires look great, the only reason I don't like the Thornbird is they are IMPOSSIBLE to balance and aren't an ideal tire if you're going to be on pavement for more than 10 feet at a time.

iroks are great, but smallest size right now is 36.

mine are perfectly balanced with no weights at all.

for a dd, with a bit of off road, i'd say trxus.
