yes, i live in hawaii. some of the best fishing spots require off roading on lava fields. if anyone has some insight to what type of tires i should get please let me know...i am not planning on lifting my truck, other than a leveling kit, and will be using the stock rims. mud tires won't work to well, as i need more rubber contacting the surface...lava rocks get slippery when wet mahalo in advance

 

i think a good set of all terrains would fit the bill for traction never offroaded on lava fields, i recomend BFG AT

 

Au'we...depend what kind...'a'a or pahoehoe!

Go to the BFG site and check out these tires

I wouldn't discount mud tires unless you have tried them. They actually fair quite well on rocks becasue of the lugs biting into the edges of the rocks. Check out this rig; http://www.off-road.com/jeep/feature/2003_11/ he is using Swampers.

BFG's are tough tires. They have a 3-ply sidewall that will resist cuts. The AT's and Mud tires are both good.

 

thanks for the input guys! Flyin hawaiian...both...a'a and pahoehoe...you know the deal mostly pahoehoe though....

JMC bf's look pretty good...it's a toss up for me...mich's or bf's...

thanks again!

 

Get some All Terrain tires.

 

took a look again at the specs of the bf tires. any suggestions on the rim size? i am planning on using the stock rims...fx4 is either 18 or 20". oh, and a 2.5 leveling kit will go on...

because of the off roading i need the clearance and do not want to rub...too much that is...seems to me the 18's is the choice to go...
