WOW. I can actually see by the trajectory of the mud being slung off the front left tire that you are in Reverse. Sweet.

where i live we have to run the wider tires in order to "float" over some of the mud and to give us a wider contact patch, some of the guys a wheel with run some narrower tires, but with the weight of the disco i rather have a little wider to spread that out a little more...

VERY TRUE..I dont have mud here unless it rains hard and long,... but it never rains enough like that to create mud like in your picture.

I like the skinny tires also and thought the 245/75 was a good compromise. I thought about 235/85 but was afraid the extra height would rob me of even more power.
