DC-2's look good. You can get them from most tire/rim sites like tirerack. Quadratec sells them too. Just Google them and find the best price. As for tires, if you want the "knobby" Mud terrain look, but on road goodness that will still perform well offroad, look into Goodyear MTR's.

New means not many reviews so can't really say. I went to BFG's 'cuz I got 'em cheap. My MTR's were getting near bald and needed replacing. Even with only 15-20%tread my MTR's did really well.

I heard from word of mouth that Pro Comp tires are made out of terrible rubber compounds that wear down fast.

ProComps and Mickey Thompsons don't last long. MTR's still take my vote for a good all-round tire that performs well both on and off the pavement as well as showing good tread life.

good match up right there. try to get a rim with 3.75" backspacing so you can keep from rubbing your LCA's
