I had 7.50x16 SAG crossplys on my Series III trials truck.. They were fantastic off road and hilarious on road, especially in the wet. I amused two police officers in Daventry one Sunday morning by 'powersliding' a Series three round a roundabout with the tail hanging out at 15 miles an hour.
The SAG stands for Super All Grip and they sure do. Provided great traction on all surfaces and in mud. worked a treat, useless on wet tarmac.

At ten quid new I'd go for them - they are cheap and good off road. I ran them on my RR and series and they were fine on road and would climb out of ruts better than most. I can't recall why I changed them in the end, there was a logic to it but I can't recall what it was. Possibly they're not so good in quarries.
Ten quid.

I currently run SATs (super all traction) as my off road tyres and they do exactly as they say on the side wall however..
Check the speed rating, chances are your 90 will go a lot faster than the tyres.
Being 6 ply cross plys they don't flex as mush as a radial even whe aired down, this has itas advantages (stronger side walls) and disadvatages (not much of an are increase when aired down) compared to radials.
Another advantage of the SATs (i expect SAGs are the same) is that when the tread gets low the are suitable for recutting to increase the tread height.
