    I had good luck with Dunlop SP 160's, Wingfoot / Goodyear commercial tire will probably make you a good deal if you are getting all 8. Otherwise something closed shoulder and 16ply should work well. If you want to go on the super cheap Milestar steer tires seem to work well. Replace all of your shocks while you're at it.

    There are a few threads on this already if you do a search

    P.S I’m have been known in the past to be hard on tires. So there’s that too.
