The other question is what is your purpose for the vehcicle?
Trail rides or mud boggs?
If on the trails - what trails are you running?
Add that to the tread pattern and vehicle weight.
Mud Boggs:
Skitzo is fairly light, and I ran 39.5x18 wide boggers. In the mudd boggs that tread didn't float, it is designed to dig - and it did dig well. But I was running against guys with 38x11 boggers - So I had to dig through almost twice the amount of goo that they did = lower time for me.
Now, Skitzo is running 38.5x16 tsl's - which I think will float a bit more than the bogger tread.
However, the 38.5x11 Boggers would be my preferred tire to run for the bogs.
That said, for trail riding, low ground pressure, wider stance and more stability - I'd go wider rather than skinnier on a trail any day. But I am thinking full size rigs so the wider stance of wider tires will help the balance when a lift is also ont he vehicle.
Now what about a Samari? Wouldn't a 33x12.5 in proportional relationship be about the same as a Blazer with 38.5x16 when considering vehicle weight, width, and wheelbase?
