For AT tires I would say either Bridgstone Dueler A/T REVOS or 695s, treadwrights, or Dayton Timberline AT/AT2

Thank you all for the support

My research has lead me to RC's 4.5" X series. The rims I feel that I am going to purchase are Mickeys, and considered sticking with the Mickey brand for rubber. Here is where I am having serious research and self conflict on decisions lol. I really like the Mickey Baja Claw radials and the S.S. Thornbirds; however I am open to suggestion and opinions are more than welcome.
