I’ve owned way more lowered 2wd vehicles than lifted 4×4 off-road rigs, but when I have had an off-road truck I most often like an aggressive tire. My favorite tire on my lifted 1992 Chevy was also a set of Super Swamper Radial TSLs. I had Boggers on it, and even Thornbirds at one point. But every time I ever went to a more sedate tire I was unhappy with the look, wear, etc. My 2000 Suburban on the other hand had a mild lift and was more of a prerunner style rig. I ran Falken Wildpeak AT2s on that truck and LOVED them. They rode nice, were quite, had tons of grip for what I did with it, and they looked right. Make no mistake, how they look matters too.

I have always hated a sedate looking tire on an aggressive rig, but a really gnarly mud terrain isn’t always necessary. So let’s look at the video below from Dave and see what he runs on his rigs, why, and how they work.

I have had the opportunity to run many different tires. Let’s go through the ones currently in my fleet and talk good, bad, and what I think they would work best on.
