It all depends on what terrain you will be encountering, but I also dont know anyone who bought Goodyears a second time. Goodrich KM2's, or one of my favorites the ProComp MTR's.

I had a chance to drive a Toy Hilux yesterday with a set of Green Diamond Icelander MT's, they are without a doubt hands down better than any wannabe MT like the KM2, MTR, Procomp Xtreme MT etc, and they rival the best swamper in the muck and on wet or dry rocks they have traction that will make you swear you are driving on velcro!

I'm still looking for some skinny tires for my Sammy.  Right now it's wearing 215-70X15s, which give me a diameter of around 27".  It works well with the stock gearing, but I want to go narrower.  All the 700X15 tires I've been able to find seem to have 6 to 10 ply rating, which means they'll ride like iron wagon wheels.  Does anybody make a narrow 15" tire?

144man,
This was a post awhile back about the old Skinny Style tires,
and that point was brought up about the High Ply Count.

Coker tire may be a spot to look for old car tires, he is PRICEY and
many tires are "Foreign Made Knock Off's" and quality for Off Roading is a concern !!

GONZUKI;
  I am currently running Goodyear Wranger Off Road 31x10.50x15's on stock rims.
They seem to be wearing OK,  been getting around on the trails/ making my own
and the BEST THING I NOTICED RIGHT OFF.......
IN MUD, THEY "SELF CLEAN OUT" VERY WELL !!
 
AND THEY CAME WITH A MILEAGE WARRANTY/FREE ROTATION/and GOODYEAR DEALERS ARE EVERYWHERE
(including most Wal-Marts)
My 2 BITS.....CAPT
