I got a set of Maxxis All Trak mudders for my 200X. They grab the dirt and mud and throw it like nobodies business. They don't quite clog up with mud either, probably because of the spacing.

They weren't expensive either.

As for front and rears, generally the rear tires are wider than the front, so you should look for a front tire for your trike. BTW, no tire is puncture resistant without being heavy, or solid. Murphy says so....

the inside 2 would both work great for rear
the duro knobby on the left works good on my big red (at least i have a tire similar to that, not sure on brand)
for the 25-11(or 12)-9 theres not alot of choices.

I put a set of ITP Mud Lites on the rear of my 85 250es and love em.
