lookin for new tires for the rancher

whats goin on everyone, looking for some mud tires for my rancher... but i have to stay at or under 1 inch of tread depth. i like the mud bugs but they are 1.2" tread. i have to stay under an inch because the national forrest we ride in requires an inch or less of tread sooo.... i found the swamp lites and the gbc gators are right under an inch. i know mud lites are under an inch, but i've had those before and just want something different. any suggestions?

1.Get the mud bugs
2. put them on
3. hold the front brake on pavement
4. NAIL IT til you got 1 inch of tread!
I guess I would go with the gators if you do a lotta mud, they are basically a mud bug!

well what i decided to do is to get the mud bugs w/ a bigfoot kit. we go to the national forrest i was talking about once a year, but i HAVE to go, and they are strict on tires, and there's not much mud. so ill get the big foot kit, and keep my stock tires and wheels, and put my stocks back on when its time to go ride over there. anyone else have 2 sets of tires for something like this?
