the rubicon sounds like a trail ride...?

Id say get 26" Bighorns but the stock PXT's should do aight.

I'd say Bighorns or ITP Terra Crosses. Outlaws aren't best for EVERYTHING, geez.

Alright you are going on the rubicon and you are going to need something besides mud tires. The best tires for rocks in my opinion are Big Horns but this is deff not the site for the kind of tires you need. Go to www.prcforum.com and the guys there will help you out. Alot of them ride in that area and will deff be able to help you out.

I agree stay away from pure mud tires for the rubicon. I would look at bighorns and thing along them lines. I would also say to air down so the tire will conform to the rocks but at the same time you do not want to bust a bead. Maybe bighorns aired down on some bead locks ?
