Depends a lot on the track. Hard surface less tire, soft surface more tire. I pull with my daily driver Toyo Open Country tires and they do quite well. A lot of guys like Baha Claws but if you use these on a real hard track 
be ready to hop!!!!

Most guys I know of use a Mud Terrain tire for a all track type...I had good luck with them..If it was soft they got traction if it was hard they would spin out instead of hop....Going to try swampers this year....

Sorry I'm late on this one, guys.
You are going to laugh your butts off, when I tell you what I used.
Bald 235/85R16 Kuhmo M/T's on my dual wheels.
I keep telling the other guys that pulled with me, "It isn't about how much power you make. It's about how much power you can get to the ground."
I do kind of feel like a shetland pony amongst clydesdales, in here. No fancy stuff, just a basicaly stock old pickup, draggin a sled used to test antique tractors. If I got in a league with you guys, I'd probably have to get out and push.

Bean,
I don't know about sled pullin, cause I haven't done it yet.... But, we do off-road racing and use the Goodyear 35" race tires...
We have moved on to the 37's but keep requesting for Goodyear to use the same compound and tread pattern on them as they have on the 35" tires. The 35's are a MTR pattern and the compound is very strong. We raced the entire Nevada 1000 on a single set of tires... we never had a flat, and the tires still had decent tread left when done.
They are very aggressive and can really dig in without ripping of lugs or tearing the tire.
These are not the same tire that you can go buy at a Goodyear dealer... they have a stamp on the side that says for off-road use only... you can order them from a guy here in Havasu and he can have them dropped shipped to you... You just have to make sure you request the the Race tire...
