Default Tires for my 20's

Ideally I'd like to find some low profile tires for my 20's that also have an aggresive tread pattern? Is that possible? I find there is less sway with the low profiles and it takes turns much better, but there are definitely times where I wish I didn't have such a street type pattern. Something more aggressive for when I'm in some light mud, dust, or on some grass would really help. My tires need to be replaced soon, any suggestions? I miss the whomp whomp whomp I used to have on my last truck with MT's too....

check out the goodyear f1's. very expensive, but very worth it. if your looking for cheaper check out the yokohama geolanders. they come in serveral different variants. also check out kuhmos.

General Grabber UHP. I've had these for almost a year now. I was hooked on the tread pattern and price. Turns out, the traction is amazing, and it's even better in the rain.

try lookin at Cooper Discoverer H/T Plus, i've had em on my truck for a little over a year now and it's got a really nice tread pattern on it, has excellent traction in rain, snow, sleet, you name it...also has a pretty good ride and no road noise

Nitto makes a 40 and 50 series tire for the 20's with an aggressive at tread. I have Toyo Open Countries 270 60 20's on mine and I really like they way they hook up.. I am in mud, rocks and snow all the time and they give great traction.. even on streets in the rain they hook up superbly..

I have the 295/50/20's and like them. You can go up to a 305 which is only 10mm wider but ususally the 295's are a little cheaper.
