want a good 2wd a/t
First im new to the ranger i have a 97 xlt swd 5spd 4 banger...and have already been trail riding. I have michelin Xc tires which i searced and they are mud snow tires, but they arent aggressive like i need...im new to the trail/mud riding thing and jus need more traction. Anyone know a good tire thats close to stock size for a 14in rim? i dont want to go over 225/70 if i can. Jus want somethig good on road and pulls good on loose dirt and alil mud

im running a 3.73 and 31's.
you will be ok, but a 4.10 is ideal.
i think theres a calc on TRS.

its noticible, but its not going to be the deciding factor in your offroad performance. having a locker, a good nut on your shoulders, and a intelligent right foot will help most.
ive got the same truck you hav,e had 31s for the past year and a half, and havent had any problems. just watch how you play the clutch.
i ran 35s on my truck for a couple weeks. now thats noticible.

The A/Ts are a great all around tire. Which is both their best and worse feature. A great example would be a Ferrari with all-season tires on it. All the performance numbers would drop dramatically on dry pavement, but in snow it would be better than if it was wearing a set of high-performance tires. The point is if you want something for everything you make comprimize at the extremes. I personally think BFGoodrich All Terrains are the best all round truck tire out there, but if you want great mud performance get a set of mudders. From what it sounds like you plan on doing I think a set of BFG All Terrains and smart driving should do you just fine. As an added bonus, the A/Ts drive much better on the street.
