Exactly. This is why the front tire on Lear jets is so narrow. It looks like a bicycle tire, but it is charged to 80 PSI and cuts through a rain cover surface to allow the pilot maximum control.
So the problem is surface based. If you are going into really sloppy terrain, then wide helps you...
I still like my Kenda Klevers. They have held up well, even while I played with tire pressures. They are a little noisy at slow speeds on pavement, but I don't even notice them at highway speeds (probably got too many other noises). They did much better than I expected from a M/T in the snow...
Definitely check your U-joints, pinion yoke play and slip joint slop, be it a transmission slip joint or drive-shaft slip joint. That kind of noise should not be loud against a skid plate unless something else is swinging pretty wide.
I was looking at those, also. Then I saw the Gotreads at the Expo and ended up talking to the inventor's son while looking at some heavy rigs. The price was right and even though they had sold out at the Expo, they gave me the Expo price and free shipping. We will see if I can break them this...
I just picked up a pair of Gotreads at the Overland Expo East. They were tested under deuce and a halfs and semi tractor trailer rigs. haven't used mine yet, but I like the fact they are easy to store and deploy. And the price is wallet friendly.

I took the day off from work so that I could install my new spare tire hatch mount from HKOffroad.

Just got done. Gonna go test drive here shortly to heck for rattles.
I will be heading out around 7am on Friday...
Couple of quick points...
1. There are no unlicensed Ham frequencies.
2. The MURS channels were previously used in the "Color Dot" portion of part 90, in the Industrial and Business VHF band.
3. Usage is unlicensed, but legal output power, by rule (like the license) is limited to 2 watts...
