what sort of driving?

I've got 31" Cooper ST on mine, work well offroad but they are only an AT

If i was looking for a muddie I would consider the Federal couragia or Maxxis Buckshots

mate ran the mudstars on the shorty for close to two years, bought brand new for $714 f+b for 4 tyres, 33x12.5x15, used them, abused them, never let me down took me everywhere, then turned around two yrs later and sold them with 75-80% tread left for $500.

great budget tyre, couldnt fault it, no flats, no crappy beads, did about 60,000kms, always let down to 10psi never came off the rim.

now running 35x12.5 Treps on the new LWB :D

ran the 33x12.5x15 mustars on 15x8s. Never lost a bead, didnt have wear problems, no crowning, and i might add a great tyre in the wet too.

cheers,

Whadaya mean they look small!! Remember most tyre manufactures tyres are well under the advertised size.......

35's fit with suspension and body lift, but you will lower gearing to run them sucessfully. 33's fit easily with either lift (I think) and the 3.0L V6 can turn them fine offroad..

IMHO 33's look good on the Paj, especially if they are 12.5 inches wide.

Four wheels (Driving) good, two wheels bad.

NP Pajero with added goodness..
