I just ordered a set of Insa Turbo Dakars, direct copy of BFG Mud Terrains and half the price as they are retreads. Only for off-road so i reckon they are great value. They do a copy of the Simex too

Don't forget Maxxis Creepy Crawler (M8090) and Mudzilla (M8080).

Often forgotten over here, but popular in the states.

Make sure you choose the right pattern  and SIZE to suit the terrain you use most. Biggest is not always best, and with a very aggresive tyres if you are not carefull you could blow diffs and halfshafts, which i understand is not the "cherrys" strong point, and could be very expensive. Expensive tyres like the BFG mud and Cooper STT's are fine if you drive a lot of rocky places with a firm base, as the extra sidewall protection is good insurance.  If you are just mud wollowing there a loads of re-treads available as already mentioned. I am currently running Kumho KL71 , which seem to be a good compromise on price and quality. Tim
