If you're a kid with a truck doing kid with a truck type stuff, it can chew through tires pretty quick and cost a fair amount. I have a set of remolded tires that I'm relatively happy with from these guys (Treadwright). My dad bought a set from Tire Recappers, and they seem to perform fine, but do not look as good on the sidewalls as the Treadwrights. Price is right for me, so just throwing it out there. You can get them in a winter compound that's supposedly much better traction on ice. Being in Texas, I don't have much input on that, but thought it's worth a mention...

Big Yellow has recap MTs on the rear duals and they look good on there. Those treadwrights look pretty good

Thanks for all the suggestions. As far as the mud flaps go, they came on the truck and are one of my favorite parts lol.
Shoot, that truck is rust free for the salt belt! Beautiful rig! What part of Cheeseland you in?
Cooper Evolution MTs are a good mid price range mudder.

I’m in central WI, but the truck was out of Montana. It was a 2 owner truck before I bought it and seems to be pretty well taken care of. I will look into those tires as well as the recaps others mentioned.

You can get cheap army surplus 8.25-16 if you look around. They're heavy duty and around 33" diameter but skinny if that might be an option

If you’re going to be in the mud look at some Goodyear drag slicks as they’ll get you through just as well as the thornbirds.
If just going for looks the thornbirds will be ok.

Yeah mostly going for looks. Most of the only mud it will see is in fields and driving around the farm.

Cool. PS those vintage mud flaps have some value. Some were reproduced. WA and MT aren’t afaik.
