i dont know about the stock tire size, but pretty soon im putting 35x13.5 mickey thompson ATZ's on. ive done my share research on tires and have felt these are the best for me. depends what you want really. I happened to want a mean looking tire that handles off road, but lasts on the pavement, i came across the nitto mud grapplers, loved how they looked but from numerous people i heard theyre extremly loud, which i didnt really care, but the ride like garbage and you gotta put new ones on every year and a half.. i wasnt too excited about that...so i did my research and found the Mickey Thompson ATZ to be my next tire

Be wary of muddin' with 20" wheels unless you are lifted to the point that you are going to something like 38x20's. Any tire less than that won't offer enough floatation to be worth a damn in the mud (nor enough flex for much any other type of off-roading for that matter). You'll find yourself getting stuck constantly where other's with less aggressive tires and lifts will make it through. You'd be much more efficient off-road going with a 17" or 18" wheel tops...

I'd concur with the smaller rims. The side wall flex as a result of a smaller sidewall to rim ratiowill be almost non-existant thus leaving traction a thing of the past.

I would agree that for any real muddin', driving on the sand or crawling you'd want the flex and smaller rim.

However, I like the way my 20's look and I'm not getting rid of them, so I too will be lookin' for some M/T tires for my 20's in the stock size if possible. Occassionally some added grip would be nice in a field, dirt road, up the boat ramp, etc.
