I hunt in west Texas with rocks, mesquite and more cactus than ground. I have to drive over many many cactus and
lots of rock. What tire do I need to get for my jeep, so that I don't have flats. Not worried about the ride, just the flats.
Thank you in advance for any and all advise.

Try to find a tire with as many plies as possible, at least 4 plies. Also look for some tires with Kevlar built in, I've heard those are some pretty tough tires.

BFG KO2’s have always done me well in that country, you and I aren’t very far apart. In 10 years of hunting that area, I’ve never had a flat as result of a mesquite thorn with those tires, can’t say the same for other tires.
Cactus won’t give you any trouble with any truck tire, or SxS tire.

I used to have a lease in Comstock and we jeep hunted. Lots of rock and cactus and mesquite. Everyone used BFG mud terrians and they worked really well.

I own a ranch in mesquite, rock and cactus country. 10 ply tires do me just fine, or you could go 12ply. I run Hercules terra tracks on my hunting and cattle feed truck. Knock on wood, so far not a flat.

Cactus won’t give you any trouble with any truck tire, or SxS tire. Only time I’ve ever bought discount tire warranty… thank god. 5 bfg AT2 in two years in Laredo. With that said I don’t think there is any tire that would hold up to that country or west tx grease wood

At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR
