I have a set of achilles desert hawk Mt mud terrain tyres on my ranger wildtrak auto. Half decent in the mud but like all mud terrain tyres not a lot of good on wet and icy roads. Occasionally see them for sale on ebay.
I am at the point of buying a set of 16" wheels for the pickup as there are a far bigger choice of 16" mud terrain tyres available.

I run BFG muds on the langer rodent and always have, great tyre off road and mannerly on the road in wet dry or snowy conditions.................

as above the BF Goodrich KM2 mud terrain are a very good tyre albeit fairly expensive, currently trying out the toyo open country MT on the pickup with seem to grip well in all conditions so far and are a good £30 a corner cheaper than the BFG

Narrow tyres, drives on snow like it's on rails.

I would recommend you go for the narrowest tyres you can get the same circumference.
I had 265 on my new pickup they were next to useless slid about on greasy surface.
Advice from TFF members was get narrower tyres,I now have 225 but think narrower would be even better.

Quite liking my Insa Turbo Dakars, not as noisy as i thought, good value but they are remoulds.

Had some on a 2.8 shogun, would go anywhere. Great tyres off road, and found them reasonable on road as well

Got General Grabber X3 tyres on our Amarok. Very little choice in the Amarok tyre size. Early days so far but been impressed with them for field use. Noisy on the road but they'll all be like that. They're a new tyre and have been getting good reviews.
