Default New tire for graduation gift

I just graduated high school and I'm getting new tires but I'm not sure what to get and I mostly wheel on really muddy trails with some rock any suggestions I was thinking about the mtr Kevlars.

MTRk's are a great tire for the rocks. A buddy of mine has got them in 40s and he loves them. I can't comment on the way they handle in mud though.

The new MTR's are getting great reviews. I'd add the BFG MT KM's, Mickey Thompson MTZ, Dick Cepek Mud Country and Pro COmp Xtreme MT to the list also. If you want a little better road manners, the TOyo MT and Nitto Trail Grapplers are great choices.

i highly recommend the trail grapplers. as a recent high school graduate myself, most of what ive done has been muddy trails myself. They are very quiet, and the only time ive gotten stuck i was not aired down, and was red clay that was slick as hell. good luck with your choice.

I've got Hankook Dynapro MT's. They sling mud like champs! There's a lot to choose from so good luck with your choice!

PS - Congrats on the grad! As a teacher I love seeing kids graduate!
