Default Skinny tires

Man lastnight we decided to go mudding in my M38 A1 1953 jeep well the outcome was we burryed it to the floor pan. Problem is the tires are like 6 inchs wide it sinks like a rock. The good thing about jeeps is they pull out easy.

yea skinny tires suck unless you have the lift, power, and traction to get to the dry stuff and cruise out. Lift a 1 ton truck like 30 inches and put some huge, skinny tires and it will drive through bout anything ha

It all depends on the type of mud you run. Up by me in Upstate NY, we have a mix of everything. From swamps where you need the widest footprint possible, to clay, where you want tall and skinny to cut through the grease and get to the firm stuff which has traction.

X2 assuming there is a bottom to the mud and its not real deep skinny tires are the best. I have skinny 33s on my truck and am in the mud all the time I just don't go into a sink hole.
