Default tire size with certain terrain....

in the area i live all we have is mud,trails and more mud, but i go through ditches alot and i was wonderin what the best size tires to run wit a 2inch,i kno i can run 31's but i go through ditches and im not sure if i should get a set of 225/75/16(29.3x9.5) or get another set of 255/70/16(30.2x10) and what would be the best tires for this,its also my DD and i have no rear sway bar and my rear sags a lil bit,i can hear my 255's rub goin through big ditches now,is that somethin i need to avoid by goin to a smaller tire? or something i can ignore and still be ok?

235/75/15 in a TSL SuperSwamper I guess.
My all time favorite tire is not made anymore. :frown
The Gateway Monster Mudder and the TSL Bias ply is very close to it in design.

I don't know then.
Maybe a Thornbird?

Or a BFGoodrich M/T
or Goodyear WorkHorse, I've run them on pickups before without issue.
Not good for the gumbo mud though.

If you drive that far every day, look at the BFG KM2's, or maybe even the Toyo MT's.
