Tires
Does anybody have any suggestions on a good set of off-road tires. I occasionally go off road. Well actually any chance I get usually mud, trails, streams, logs, and anything else that can be found in the woods! So I need something to handle off road and on the road
I went with Mastercraft MXT's. I pasted a link to my review below.

I have Duratracs on my pickup. They are great all around tires with a pretty mean look for an all terrain. They preformed really well in the snow and have had them for a couple of years with little show of wear.
First decide how far from stock tire size you are willing to go. There are only a few tires made in the stock 255 size. Changing up to a 285 is possible on stock wheels with spacers behind the wheels. There are also some 265 and 275 tire widths that are about the same diameter as stock. Study the specifications.
Then decide how heavy-duty a tire you want. Stock tires are "C" rated. Many of the aftermarket choices are "E" rated. They are heavier, get worse fuel mileage, and usually ride firmer. There are also a few "D" rated options.
Next, decide what kind of tread you want. Mostly the tread designs are "All Terrain (AT)" or "Mud Terrain (MT)" with some compromise designs also. AT tires can do a lot, but aren't very good in the mud. MT tires obviously work better in the mud but they are noisier on the pavement and get the worst fuel mileage.
Finally, when you get the stuff above figured out, find out which brands make the kind of tire you want and pick a brand.
