Looking for a tire that I can run the same size on all four corners that works well in forest, desert and sand. About half our riding is sand. I try to stay out of mud beyond creek crossings or rainy trails - NO bogging... I do not want dedicated paddles for sand, the limo does well enough for our riding with PXTs. I just want all four tires the same.
When we go to the desert we will do a 100 plus mile loop, and sometimes more with camping from our Ranger. There are a lot of sharp rocks and typical harsh terrain.
I have three extra stock rear wheels and 1in spacers so I can run them on the front. My plan is to have a matching spare. I also have a trailer that I made adapters for that use the 4x156 pattern that I will use my current front wheels and tires on and my spare will work with it as well.
And just to make it more difficult I was looking for a non-directional tire so I could rotate the spare with them and not have to worry about direction.
I have a Dragonfire 2" lift and am not running a rear sway bar.
With the stock rear wheels and a 1in spacer they have the same back spacing as the stock front wheels.
I do not want to add forward a-arms and I do not want the tires to rub at full lock but I do want to run as tall and wide a tire as I can for flotation in sand.
I am leaning towards the GBC Mongrel in 26x10x12 or 27x11x12 but have not seen real measurements on them to compare to my PXTs. I am also looking at the Sedona Roctane in 26x11x12 and the Discount Tires Journey 350 in 27x10x12 as the Journey is running $95 a tire shipped but have seen very little as to how the tire holds up and performs.
Thanks for your time,
Scott
