Do not run skid steer tires. They don't flex at all, and will punch out / rut everywhere you drive. You will get stuck often. The side walls are way to stiff.

If you go with ag tires, check out the ag wreckers. That's where I got mine. Also your local fountain tire. I got some used there too.

Also check here they have some info.

Front view of my trail spare. Tire is a 18.4x16.1 Rim is 11.5 bead mount surface to bead mount surface. I would go 14" to 16" If I do it over. I have a set of 21.5 x 16.1 that are going on 17" wide rims with weld on beadlocks.

My rig is still in the build phase. I will post updates when I know how they do.

only place my r-1's have any trouble is on smooth rock slabs in creek beds. Ledges are no problem as the lugs just grab and go. But, i think they do fine as i don't hit the rocks much. I ran the long bar/long bar tread for a while, but switched to long bar/short bar treads and couldn't be happier. 100% better traction.
