I think the simex's are a bit larger than they state. So a 32 is closer to 33. Ive got 33 x 10.5 15R BFG muddies on a Diesel SWB that barely pushes them.

I've got 33s (well, 32.8 if we're being picky) on my Paj, and it pushes them OK. For mud, if you want wheel speed to keep the tyres clean, I don't think you'll have a problem.

I now have these exact tyres on my 2.5 TDI LWB and it doesn't go so well at 110km/h up the freeway but in the rough stuff it pushes them just fine.

They actually measure up to be about 33.3" tall and about 11.5" wide so they give a bit more clearance.

Sorry for the confusion, they are the Simex Extreme Trekker "The centipede" tyres, often called ET's or Pede's.

Them's the ones, the ET's have the 2 middle lugs, the ET2's have the 3 middle lugs.
