There are two trains of thought,
a ) With a small engine and that you need to spin the wheels to throw the mud out of the treads, but you dig in....so keep the tyres narrow, high profile.
b) Try and float across which means wider tyres with a small engine....I wouldnt think it would work.
If you are never on the road can you get a bigger engine cheaply? say 1600cc or something?
The serious off roaders Ive met go for a) and run retreads with big V patterns, tubes and clamps to hold the tyres on the rim when at low pressure.
I run Hankook Dynamic MTs for the road/casual mud bath, I will replace them when worn I think they have done me well.
