agree with your comments-thing is there are a set of bfg muds but 33/9.5/15 near new for similar money, wonder if the narrower tyre may be better?

look nice ones there m8, dont forget to ask the guy who selling them if you can test them on his neighbours lawn :)
If I could only find some mud to play in, I would be as happy as the preverbial pig!!!

Tall tyres can be better in mud, I have Guyanes on my lightweight, 7.50x16s, they are definately better in the sloppy stuff than my amazons on the disco, the tread does look good on them though, should have good clearing through the pattern.

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

Not sure what they're like on the road, big blocks like that can make handling interesting.

I would disagree with one thing he has in the description...  he reckons they need to be on a 7j wheel, I would say that you ought to be putting them on an 8" wheel.
