I have had a set of these for the last 8 years and they are great.
Mine are 33x12.5x15.
They are very very noisy on the road
I have used them in mud and on dry rock tracks and they give good grip with positive feel.
I usually run them at about 25psi off road and between 35-40 on road depending on the load.

What vehicle are you gonna run them on? I ran mine on my troopy.
Hope you have ear plugs if ya gonna run them on the road, you will soon get sick of the noise. I was told they are so noisy because of the large gap down the centre of the tyre as well as the open pattern.
They will be great for the mud and trails.
