i say run whatever tire hooks the best for you.........










i don't have enough power to have traction issues.......... but i do have 4 tires in the rear too..... i run Toyo Open Country H/T

Mickey Thompson Drag Radials are the shiznit around here for cars..... dono how they would work for these big trucks..... ALL the big guys around here that want to claim "street car" status run the Mickey Radial.

biggest thing i know you are looking for is longevity and traction on dirt..... get 2 sets of wheels and tires....one for the track.... one for the daily driving....

If you want to go all out get slicks, if you want to drive with them get proxies

how fast do you plan on going. you can probably get away with toyo at's unless your launching crazy. those 6.4s launch hard so you might try proxes.

I have a few die hard drag buddies. Two run M&H one runs proxies. The one runs mh full slicks on a 2wd then switches to bfg ats when he aint on the track. He runs 7s in the 1/8th. The other mh dot drag radials street and strip with a 4x4 he runs .I'd 8s 1/8th. The guy with the proxies loves them too he runs 8s as well. They hook pretty good too. You can't go wrong either way bud.
