How big do you want to go? I had 245 x 75 without doing a thing. |

Been surprisingly good so far. Been through thick clay mud which i didn't think they will handle well and did pretty good. On soft sand they have been pretty good too. Quite on the road and grip well in the wet. I haven't had them for that long so they haven't really had a good test yet. but supposedly meant to last over 100,000k as well. Small video testing in mud doesnt look like much. The tires slipped a bit but managed to get through it quite well, had a 4x4 going through it with 33's before making nice deep ruts. |

Rear tyre carrier fit a 35 without an issue. Doubt the rear bumper would play nice with it though but mine was removed. |
