Default Re: 23 inch tires for stock 8 inch rims -- need help selecting

If you are worried about wear and want a offroad tire the desert type seem to work the best like the duro, all trails, etc. That flat big mud truck looking tire wears pretty good on pavement (flat meaning the tread tends to be more flat across the tire, instead of rounded). Make sure your toe is set right or it will scrub the fronts off. I have run trail pro large knobbies since 99 and they still look good. They do round out with more air the 22 will measure 23 then. They do very well on trails. I don't run hardly any pavement just once in a while, mostly gravel road/drives, trails, sand, wooded areas, lawns. The desert tires are not that great in mud, the knobbies are a little better, then you go to a mud tire. I'd recommend an ATV rated tire they are more resistant to punctures.
