Wow thanks for that.. really helps me decide

havent had procomps that why im not commenting on them but from what ive seen they dont grip as well as treps i would probably get a set of silverstone 117's before procomps jimny extreme had them on and they just didnt seem to work as well as what everyone else had

So with 30's I should be right? Just need rubber edging to keep it legal?

I had a set of 235/75R15 Federal Couragias and off road they were pretty awesome, on road for a daily driver they were uncomfortable but tolerable.

Depends on the off-set of the rim if you need rubber edging...i think 15x7 -13 the tyre's would stick out a bit (NFI as i have jimny) and i think you also need to hammer the seems of the guard ( i think).

Sorry mate, I had those on my 4runner for the first set of mud tyres.. I found they chipped easily[ like a year I think] and ounce worn a little, they had very little bite left

Hey mate I had 31's on my Sierra with everything stock and somehow that worked fine haha. Came like that when I bought it and there was absolutely no rubbing at all, unless the tired was compressed up at full lock. I don't know how it worked, just came like it when I bought it :p

^^^ It is possible to fit 31's on a standard sierra, I have and all I had to do was hammer the guards a bit and now it only rubs at full flex.

Well they are much cheaper so they're not going to be a comp-spec tyre

I had the Nangkang mud tiers on my old work hilux and they were like bf at
Hard and scary as shit on wet roads
Mate had them on his Sierra and it was the same story
They worked good in mud though
I have 31 treps on my coily with 1" lift and guard chop and now on my vit and they grip better on road then any at or ht I have ever had
Not to bad in mud and great on rocks they are soft as . I'm going to try some higher pressure this weekend as I need more hight and at 10 psi on the vit they bag way to much but grip really well

But of course!
Still got my Heart set on some BFG KM2'S but just seeing if there were cheaper... better offroad tyres out there...... but does not seem likely unless I get a comp spec tyre
