    well there are things to consider with tire plys 4s will ride better but 6 plys will be more stout resting sticks, rocks, and busting a bead. i prefer 6plys and slime in the tires beacuse i dont like working on them. there are lots of posts on this site that will healp you deside on swim ability and toughness. just look tiers and wheels talk good luck.

          I have a 1997 Argo Response and have started putting 22x11-8 Swamp Fox tires on it. The engine hasn't run right since I started putting the tires on it so I can't comment on their performance yet, but they fit.

            He's got an '85, and I don't know myself, but it's been discussed what size will fit the earlier bodies.. That carlilse powertrack 21x8 ? comes to mind..
