Welcome aboard Muskie,
If you decide to go 33 inch MT's then I have 5 which are surplus to my requirements as I now run 35's. They are all in very good condition, size is 33x 12.5x 15 Roughnecks which are made in the States by Coopers.
Let me know if you are interested

You guys trying to flick your old tires off should really put em up in the classifieds with a nice big photo. More likely to sell than trying to flick em off to every newcomer who posts about modding their truck and someone suggests bigger tires :wink:

trouble is everything on trademe or advertised seems to be to far south to make it economically viable, so buying new seems my only option anyway.

For the price of some of the new mud tyres it can be false economy to buy 2nd hand anyway Muskie. Even a mud tyre with 10mm of tread left will have lost the best of it's grip. It's alright if you're really on a budget but new is a good way to go if you can afford it.
A couple of guys on the forum can get great prices on new tyres.

Cheers.

Agree wth supralux go for 33's the extra gap between the dff and ground will be all the difference. My mate only did a 2"body lft and standard aftermarket suspension and runs them no problems. Don't waste youe time with 32's.

Most 4WD shops sell em between 295 and 320 - but if you get stuck log on to http://www.clubisuzu.com and ask Andrew (one of the moderators) as I think he imported some for club members, but they may have been just MU ones... someone there will point you in the right direction tho. The clubs a little inward looking at times, being only Isuzus, but the Isuzu knowledge they have there is unsurpassed.
