    255\85r16s from Maxxis, BFG etc are reasonably common

    You said 33x9.5. That is what you have at present.

    This is already ~25 mm over standard, which is the maximum allowed under the old rules. I think QLD has adopten the NCOP, which then gives you +50 mm (34"). Simex are about the only mud tyres in 34" size.

    I believe it may(?) be possible to go larger if you do not have a spring or body lift, but you would need to talk to an engineer/blue plater about that.

    I got 1/2 a doz "7.50 x 16"' CASES in very good condition, took them to Bridgestone for delivery to BANDAG to retread. Cost $145 ea, I've just got back to Cooky after a 4 month, 23,000 klm trip round north (including, Hells gates, Boorooloola, Gibb River Road, Great Central Road, Boulia &c You cant see the wear, no punctures, perfect, this is on the County 110. My series 2 uses the same Bandag retreads, and has had then on for 6 years and 100,000 miles (160,000klm) still not worn out. The tread pattern is Bandag BDLT, good grip in mud, not super on sand as they are a bit skinny for that.

    Having seen the vehicle in question, concerns over compliance aren't that big an issue, just performance
    You do still have the monster?

    Edit: Sorry, late night posting..

    Going mild this time mate?
