I've got a mate running the 33x13.5 on 10 inch rims with second air beadlocks.

They go really well in a straight line. Look a bit scarey on the sidlings though. Not a lot of side ways resistance.

A tyre that I have been recently introduced to is the swamper IROK. Amazing tyre. It was the tyre that Simon Guy just one the Rotorua winch challenge with. Its a really open pattern and not terribly deep when put next to a centipede. But the individual outer lugs have a claw shaped leading edge. The old Kumho mudders used to have a forward facing leading edge at the very top to the lug. Thats nothing compared to the curved leading edge of these tyres.

Yee ha.

Didn't end up getting them based on what Jungle said (also backed up locally) I do alot of pruning and thinning QC work which means I'm solo in the back of beyound on 4wheeler tracks that you don't want to slid off!
On the good side everyone who has them raves about how good they are in mud...
I'm working on a second hand set of BFG A/T's till winter and was thinking of a set of $imex's for $200 more! and judging from coments they wear about as fast onroad as the Mudzilla's
Heres a link for cheap 35" Simex's

just about finished machining the steering arms!!
My big problem is time, we've hit the silly season when everyone wants there trees cut down :lol:
