Default Need Help on Picking Tires

i have a 05 rubicon an as of right now i got 30 inch itp mudlites on it and i like them but have never tried another mud tire an i love the ground clearance i get from them but now their starting to wear down an starting to look around for new tires. I dnt go balls to the wall in mud but i dnt want to be the one getting pulled out ether ive looked at swamp lites or the silverbacks, zillas, mudzillas and just but every other tire. Just wanting to get some opinions on a good tire and im wanting to stay around a 29 or 30 inch tire if possible thanks

29.5 outlaws. The best mud tire ever made. Or a 30" silverback coming in a close second. But you will need a gear reduction to turn any one of those effectively. If you don't want a gear reduction stick with mudlites or zillas.

I have 29.5 outlaws with no gear reduction bro, it turns them pretty well in mud and they are amazing all around tires except for street use but when you get in thick thick thick stuff you would want a zilla they are an exceptional tire.

Swamplights. I rock crawl with them and trail ride. I think they are a great all-round tire. Not been stuck yet, but I don't go looking for BIG mud holes either.
