nankang mudstars M/T,,,
ther a copy of buckshot mudders but a lot alot cheaper..
i ran 235s for about a year and a half as a daily driver and weekend warrior. not one puncture or flat in all that time, and still 80% tread.
now runin them in 31s and the offroad traction is bloody wicked.
31/10.5/15 $195 each

Yep, just got some nankangs myself. They are undersized, but are a great all-rounder for a great price.

I got buckshots in 32's for $180..
Bighorns are a much better tyre though.

If you can afford them go the bighorns, they have sidewalk tread unlike the brother buckshot!

i'll be going for bighorns for my next set purely for the sidewall protection.
i had nankangs on my last 4x4 and they were terrible on road compared to other MT's i've had in the past but worked well offroad. i was always worried about the lack of sidewall protection though. federal do a good budget muddie with sidebiters.
