There one downfall is not being able to clear mud very well. The wells like to hold on to it. I'd say their a better trails tire. For mud I'd go nittos.

295/70/17 for size. As for tires, depends what kind of driving u do. Nitto Terra grapplers are a good all terrain tire that is a good value.

Do you want mud terrains or all terrains? You can fit up to a 315/70R17 on the stock rim

A 295x70x17 tire would be a great choice on a leveled 4x4
