Now you are getting it, Mike! The more sidewall, the more potential for floatation.

"I calls um like I sees um"
These are trucks I see just walking around.
This Raptor has 17 inch rims. He took off before I could get the size.
Probably 35s.

Hankook DynaPro ATM 265/75-16 (32")
Here's a bunch of pics of my current and all-around favorite tire for many reasons... including how well it floats on the gulf beaches which are
softer with crushed shell in the mix... and I only need to deflate to 18 psi for maximum benefit.
I have also run BFG Rugged Trail TAs, Toyo Open Country AT, Cooper Discoverer AT, Cooper Discoverer STT, and Destiny Dakota AT. The BFGs were the
worst performance, lowest mileage, followed by the Destiny Dakotas with also under 30,000 miles per tire life. The Cooper STTs were the noisiest, most
expensive, longest mileage at 40,000+, but terrible in the sand. The Cooper ATs, Toyo ATs, and Hankook ATMs are all good truck tires with off-road
features, but the Hankooks kind of steal the show.
I was impressed with the new KO Mud Terrain BFG tires when I got to ride on them in the Raptor last May. No loud noise for a mud tire!

The Raptor tires look like knobbis.
I like those best.
Your's look excellent.

I took my truck to America's Tire yesterday.
I think I bought my last 5 or so sets of tires there.
Rotation, balance, inspection.
All green.
But I did knock a few tire weights off... and 1 tire sidewall shows abrasion to the point that Michelin is barely visible.
That must be the "panic" tire... the one that starts to sink and I panic and floor the 5.4 flat...
I hate that "sinking" feeling...
Don't let me down baby...

BFG KM's will be the new shoes on our Baja Burb.
I'll pass the half worn KM2's to our ranch truck.

Uncertain of the meaning of the statement.
But yes, as I said, if I see a cool "baja" truck I take a picture of the tire/wheel combo.
It interests me because I might buy some big sand tires for my truck.
But all very expensive.
I thought others might like the photos.
My tires are awesome and can do sand. But are not "offroad" tires.
So I am studying and learning... and sharing...
Is there a Baja Nomad rule against this?

Nevermind
