i think your making the right move with not going 40 series. honestly, i was in your exact same position, one year ago. i really wanted 40 series....big joes to be exact too. but after lots of researching, i decided not to go with 40 series. i wanted bigger tires because i could climb over taller objects, but i came to realize that your only able to climb over things just a tad taller vs stock size tires. my friend has tall tires and i can pretty much climb everything he can. it only makes a slight difference. but in some cases, that difference can get you out of a rucust and not get stuck.

there was a guy from a diff. forum that literally tried all the popular tires available, and the best all around tire he used were proline mulchers. they are a bit taller than stock and are pretty light. but the best thing is, they have the BEST traction he has ever seen!! badlands cant even compare to those. and if you want to go a bit taller, second runner up is the losi super bolt ons. they also have better grip/traction than the badlands. definetly consider those two, or at least research those two tires i just mentioned. good luck
