Those big rubber 4x4 tires. How do you choose which to use? What is your experience with them?
Those tires are so vital to successful off roading. With the proper grip and flotation the right
tires can make you fly through unbelievably tough terrain.
Naturally fitting such big tires takes a good deal of modifications - but that just adds to the fun :)
Off Road wheels selection usually comes after tire selection. Aluminum or steel, with or without beadlock
- your options are wide open.
Do you have a great first-hand information or story about wheels or tires?

I really enjoy seeing real 4WD
vehicles in real situations where they are needed. There
are so many highway bound posers that never go off the
pavement here that seeing life or death 4 wheeling in
Iceland is really refreshing.
