if you could buy some tires in the 38-42 inch range what would you get? and what do you think you'd like about that tire?

also what do you have now? what do you like about them, and how do they suit you?

Depends on what u want to do mostly. If it were mud i would go with swampers.

But i know you like snow, the best snow tire i have seen seems to be the mtr's. I have toyo open countries and I have had to air down where my cousin with mtr's goes right up in the snow. Not bashing my tires at all, they take me everywhere i have ever wanted to go, but the mtr's straight spank the snow.

I have seen swampers and iroks in the snow and in my opinion they both suck. as soon as u spin you dig. I havent seen km2s in the snow much but they seem to do ok also. Cooper stt's suck in the snow from what i can tell.

Also duratracs are the best at i have ever seen. They also do ridiculously well in the snow.

I'd prob get either 39.5 irocks or the maxxis creepy crawlers. Heard and seen great things about both and both would suit me fine haha
Right now I have 33inch pro comp mud terrains , I don't mind them so far except for they tear up real easy and chunks come out easy. But I guess it's whatever

Stupid question, But why would you need such a big tire? Is this a 100% trail rig your putting these tires on?

Oxen how about starting a build thread for your Jeep build. Then, instead of starting another random thread every step of the way you can just make a new post on your build thread.

Im not gonna do a build thread.

I was asking because some good sugjestions may come up. For instance i just looked up pit bulls. I didnt even know those were a kind or brand and they look like mean tars. Also just curiouse to see what every one has and what they would have if they could get what they want.

I want a rig that can rock snow trail and rocks. She will be able to pull dd and stay street legal. The rigs going to be receving a turbo diesel. So even with all the extra jaz it will still break 20mpg. i dont want a trailer queen quite yet.
