Muds for GQ LWB Patrol

I'm in two minds;
Buy a set of Simex/Silverstones in 33" for only offroad days

Or sell the good set of AT's I have now (285 size) and buy some KM2's for every day and off road use.


If I was to keep my current AT's and buy the Silverstones I am looking at the 33x10.5r15 size tire. Is this wide enough for the big old girl? Would they go best on a 7 in rim?

I just went with federal couragias, nice aggressive open pattern at $345 each they are a good price point and seem to be lasting on the road quite well on gu lwb in 33"

For what it's worth I'd keep the AT's for everyday runners and rivers. The silverstones are only good in wet sloppy mud IMHO, so I would be looking at a more all round MT. One that has good performance in not only all types of mud but pea shingle, snow and over rock. Also how much wear you'll get should also be a factor. All this depends entirely where and what type of terrain you do your wheeling. The silverstones are good for some westcoast mud, not all and entirely shiit in all other terrains. They wear fast as well. I'm currently running the maxxis 764 and am happy with the performance thus far in Aussie terrain.
