 My son has Recip Trials on his L/R 110 twin cab,  235/85R16, and they are great.
   On Green Sand they drive as it is tarmac, and on Wealden clay the only other motor that can go onto the same fields is the quad!
    On the road they give a slight whine, but not the roar that we got from the Super Swampers.
 The only problem that we have had is that if you let the pressure down for any time the rubber around the bead gives way and you have to fit tubes.

Also have a look at Maxxis tyres, they are new tyres and very good prices, they are used in the states for rock climbing and go up to mad 40" sizes.

I have a friend who's seen Insa's from the factory with patches on the inside, nice.

ive just bought some maxxiss buckshots for my wagon, theyre very similar to BFG muds and seem to work very well. they also do some proper hardcore stuff like the mudzilla!

Yeah I've heard lots of good stuff about Maxxis and the price of their buckshot/trepador range is very good (often lower than retreads).

This picture shows Maxxis are serious tyres....

No prob, think I'm going to try and get some 16" wheels and then prob look at Maxxis tyres, should give me the same overall size as the 33"x10.5" as I'd prefer to stay narrower.

I have heard from many people that BF will no longer make the 33x10.5x15 muds, so even if I manage to get a set I will probably have problems in the future if I need a replacement tyre.

So, I've ordered a set of 16" rims as the tyre choice is much better, 255/85 x 16 is very close to what I wanted. Also looking at Maxxis tyres, creppy crawlers look good
