M8 of mine is using the new Kumho KL71 mus tyres, they are a good price and a lot better than the old mud pattern that most use (BFG pattern)
They have lugs on the side walls as well, look cool and don't have the gay boy white writing on them

hasn't had them long enough to know

here's what they look like and I can tell you they perform better that the old mud pattern :!:

Get some second hand BFG muddies... either a 33 x 12.5 x 15 or that wierd metric 33" thats a 16" rims size but only about 10.5 wide would be a good one for gravel roads... not so skittery under power... Give Shane a call at KATS in Kaiapoi he had some 2nd hand ones on the shelf last time I was there...
