    i get it you want wider - the best mudding vehicle i ever say was a stock 1940's army jeep w/ knubby pizza cutter tires - he ended up pulling everyone else with those giant balloon tires and suped up motors out of the mud after they got stuck

    It depends on the slop.

    Skinny tires are great for cutting through the slop down to a more firm surface to bite on ... if there is firm stuff underneath the layer of slop.

    If the layer of slop is deeper than the ground clearance of the vehicle, then you're better off with the floatation of the bigger/wider tires.

    Either way - you still need the wide lug spacing of mud tires in order for the tires to eject the buildup of mud.

    And if it's gumbo mud, you need some major wheel-speed to fling the mud out of the treads, and all over your friends...
