Hey there got offered a screaming deal on so BFG 16" mtx mud tires like new! But they are load D rated... but only 3 ply side wall. Anyone else have any luck with 16"s or are they too stiff for everyday driving and rock crawling in Tahoe? Thanks guys!

PS also looking for seats that are near to the originals. I like them low narrow and dont need the big wings to hold me in. Any ideas? And no fabric acura electric seats.

Thought I'd get more of a response here. Everyone I know is running 15", including me. I just want to know if the weight of the samurai is enough to air them down and get some flex while on the rocks. Come on guys give me some ideas. Anyone run 16" one their sami's and have good luck?
