Ya, they actually are making "Mud tires" for 20s now! But, I agree - when I do any medium-major offroading I am switching to my stock wheels/tires. Is there truly evidence that 15/16 is Ibetter than 17 (which is stock of course)???

I am curious, why go for 20 inch rims? The chrome will get real messed up on the trail. And man those are not mud tires, they are more AT tires. But didn't even know they made at tires or 'mud' for 20s. But man why not go for 26s, they would be bling bling to the max (hope you get the sarcasm

Chris is right, for off road use, anything over 17" is generally considered too big, 16/15" is better. The more tire "depth" you have, the better the tire is at forming to and absorbing rocks, boulders, logs, etc, this in turn leads to more surface area in contact with the surface and better traction. This becomes even more important as you start airing down. 20" rims are not for off road use. After saying that, they do look very good and really fill the wheel arches out well.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
