heyy all another question! :shtgn:

i have a ss4.6, with the dog bones tyres and they are fine on tarmac, but here in england i need something better suited for the wet. i use the truck on fairly hard mud, not the horrible wet, gloopy stuff, so i need a tyre that hooks up well in muddy conditions, nothing silly large. probably with new wheels also, any suggestions- what do you guys use? :chainkiller:

get some mulchers for the wet muddy conditions, nothing grips more

moabs are good too. i have the 40 series ones and the are good allround tyres.
never seen the thin ones so i dont know if they would be better.
