Same tread pattern as the Buckshot I think, but with side wall lugs.

I looked at these, but will stick with the Goodyears.

Bighorn has different tread patten to buckshot mudder and is alittle larger,looks more like a MTR tread wise.
I would go the mtr unless you can get a killer deal on the Bighorns.

I looked at them too, but there were none in stock at the time so I went with Goodyear MTR's. The tread is similar - more aggressive than Buckshots, & with side lugs so better sidewall protection. I don't know if they would be as good as the Goodyears though... Price would be the decider I guess. You might get a decent price just so they can get some out to start building a reputation.

doing allot of k,s on and offroad on 33x12.5x15 on 10 inch rims and wearing well so no probs with mine

Most 33x12.50R15 tyres have a recommended rim width range of 8.5 - 11.0".

Something to be aware of for insurance purposes if something should let go at any stage.

8" rims pull the sidewalls in tighter against the outer edge of the bead and helps keep mud out... I'd recommend 8's over 10's if you're doing a lot of offroading. If its a street truck then go with the 10's to have the tread sit flatter on the road...

Horses for courses...
