cheers, the more research i do, i think coopers are the way to go especially as most of the more extreme mudders seem to come in 10.50 as thier widest and these are just too slim for my bus

Have you had a look at the simex range?
SST's aren't extreme, they are a good general MT, but hardly a directional tyre which will dig in hard.
Don't get me wrong, I like em, but if you want something to pull you through and out the other side there's better options out there.

I have a ford ranger and have bfg at's on and I find them great. In the snow ee had I was managing to get up hills that other cars couldnt get up. Yes ok it is light on the back end and on a slightly muddy field you will find it hard to get out in 2wd alone. I have never been stuck yet, even with a caravan on the back.
In the snow I put a 2 caravan water containers in the back and filled them full with water for added weight over the axle. Didnt have any problems. neighbour has a mitsi and he doesnt put anything in the back and rarely uses 4x4 in the snow. He has to drive accross fields most days for his job and he is on road tyres and tows trailers with minidiggers and says he rarely gets stuck.
so as for greenlanes. I reckon so. I cant wait to do my first laning trip down non scratchy lanes! :lol:
