Overland Journal Podcast: Principles of Overlanding – Wheels and Tires

Wheels and tires are a common area of discussion amongst four-wheel-drive enthusiasts that often result in a wide variety of opinions. Is there an answer to the question: What is the perfect wheel/tire combo for your vehicle?

In this week’s Overland Journal podcast, Scott Brady and Matt Scott review the different considerations for tire selection, including tread pattern, compound, and size. For wheels, they review the critical attribute of backspacing, along with the pros and cons of steel vs aluminum.

Matt is a paragliding pilot and adventure seeker living in Boulder, Colorado. His love of the outdoors has driven him to explore remote destinations across North and South America in search of the most aesthetic peaks and beautiful flying sites. IG: @m.b.swartz
