need tire advice
I use my truck at work in the oil field. There are tons of mesquites and jagged rocks. My 38" swampers just can't take it. The rocks cut gouges in them and the mesquite thorns go right through giving me tons of flats. The rubber is just too soft. I get great traction, but they don't hold up. The tires we use on our work trucks are Michelin XPS traction and they work very well, but the don't make them in larger sizes. My truck has a six inch lift so with standard size tires it would look funny. I want a tire in the 35" range. I don't care if it is as aggressive as the swampers, but I want some decent traction and most importantly some durability especially in the sidewall. Any ideas?

Michelin XLs... I have a set on one of my trucks & they take abuse & keep coming back for more. They are also a radial. They are a bit on the skinny side, but they should hold up & handle whatever you want to put them through.
