Honestly, anything with tread would be better than I have if it's wet out. I literally got stuck on flat ground at Hale. No rocks. No swampy mud. Just a road. Flat ground. All four spinning.

That **** was hilarious.

Nice working shoes...

How many Iroks do you have now?

7.5. One did not make it through the removal process.

Gotcha. I couldn't remember if it is 8 tires or 12 tires.

So, I'm looking at getting new to me tires in the near-ish future(within 6 months). Unless I find a smoking deal on some used stickies, I don't expect them to be in my budget. I've been looking at TSL SX's. Probably in the 39-43" range. From ya'lls experiences, what do you recommend? I feel like there are a ton of tires out there now. Nittos, mtr's, etc... I'm just not sure if any of them will actually do any good in the SE. Not sure on budget yet. But let's just say 700-1200 ish?

Rig is approx 5500#

I'm not ready to pull the trigger right now. And honestly don't know that I'll be ready in 6 months. But I can shop around and keep my eyes open. You've told me like 9 times already that "people are asking about your tires and you haven't even listed them yet". So I figure they'll be sold long before I'm ready

I've always had good luck out of Mickey Thompson tires myself......

I am running the 43 TSL's non sticky and they are doing well. I run about 5 psi, buggy is about 4500 to 5000 lbs.

Something more narrow. If Luke calls my bluff here and buys them I reckon I'd try the Baja Boss X. The one that looks like a JK mall crawler tire but it's sticky
