With no lift? I think you can go up to a 265/60. I KNOW you can run a 255/60, I have a buddy that runs that size and likes them.

I can't wait to get off-road. Every time I plan to go we have been hit with another snow storm. I think we got more snow in the last month than we did all winter. Hoping to go Saturday, and will probably get a chance to play in some mud from the sounds of the trail condition.

I just missed a noob trail event that MVLRS had going on at Haspin Acres in Indiana. They're setting up another date for May I hope, and I'm definitely going. There aren't too many places around here that I could go off road without getting arrested. I need to start hanging out with some of you guys!

Hey tornado I live in indianapolis and I know nobody with a rover so let me know about things going on. I need friends to play with. Hopefully I get some tires and suspension soon.

I hope to do some wheeling today, its been raining for 2 days, heavy rains too, lots of flooding to be expected today, and more rain out over the lake heading our way.
Just waiting for my wife to get up so we can eat breakfast and go.

Off road season is off to a slow start here. We tried 3 trails before finally finding one that was open and even it still had snow on it making a difficult climb even tougher, for my truck at least.
