Mickey Thompson Baja Claws, 31x10.5. Had them about 2 years, bugger all wear, daily driver too. Good on road, great off road!

31x10.5x15 silverstone mt-117 sports handle good onroad and off road they are great. They bag out really well on 10psi been on the car through 3 owners and still have 10mm tread.

when u get the extremes be sure to let us all know how they go

235/85s on 16" rims

Well i've got some, but haven't driven on them yet :oops:

i have 31" extremes and they are the ducks guts. the only two situations that i dont
like them are. they suck in dry hot sand and they are a bit dodgy on
river crossings when the bottem is hard and smooth and there is a bit of flow.

good to hear what everyone is running. is there anything that u wouldnt recommend? bad experiences? overpriced? etc.

Don't buy a Lada or a Jeep! :lol:

Can anyone tell me (im sure there will be a debate) as to whether bias ply or radials are better for offroading. Are many tyres still manufactured with bias ply? if so which ones?

You won't find anything in a bias for Zuk size tyres They usually start around 37's etc...
but happy to be proven wrong

Running half bald 35" goodyear MTR's. I'd buy another set (in 37's ) if they still made them. Let down the pressures and they stick to rock like nothing else Running 32" BFG muddies on my other zook. They are a good all-rounder. Have done me well and never let me down (no pun intended). Cant complain when I picked em up for $400

That'd suck heaps up there for ya then Shep nothin' but hot dry sand as far as the eye can see! I'm running 30x9.5x15 Maxxis Trepadores on 15x7x-15 so far they seem really good in the mud and great on the road not noisey at all but for real mud I'd recomend the extreme's in a 31" as well!
