Sooooooooo many threads on this already,

And not one will give you a straight answer. The reality is we can reccomend wheel types and sizes, but at the end of the day it comes down to what it will be mainly used for and your budget, and ultimately trial and error, as everyones preferances differ.

As for understanding wheel terminology... what exactly do you mean?

By this cd0506, Eelesy (Tri) means what do you do with your truck?
Does it stay on the black top?
Does it do weekend trips in the bush but spends most of its time on the black stuff?
How many K's do you do in it etc etc

Alot of factors to consider

or by termonology do you mean the sizing printed on the side of the tyre with all those fancy numbers and letters? :?
