Hey Mike, do you have PepBoys out there??
they have the Dakota A/S in 33x12.5-15 for
around $100, they wear excelent on the Hwy
and work reasonably well offroad, I had a set
of half gone 235s before I got the 31s for size
and trimming wheel wells, and was having a blast
out at the Tiera Del Sol Off Road Safari in 2001.

Cooper makes these tires, same as Roadmaster
and there are a few other Brands but same maker.

Just a thought, save the cash for the real offroad
tires, run cheapies on the street.

a pal of mine has suggested I simply replace the existing tyres with the same brand - General XP2000's.

Does anyone else use these? If so, what are they like in the wet/ light snow ?  ???

Mudflinger, forgive me if I've missed a post but what is your vechile's spec?? I am in the UK (Devon) and have a set of hardly used undamaged BFG MT's available - 9 months old & 3000 miles only ( I've finally lifted my Vitara so can fit something bigger!!)  
Althought they are MT's they are well behaved on the road, and at 27+" give a little lift without needing body/suspension work.
You can live with these if the car is of low annual mileage, or perhaps fit them to a second set of wheels? They're not as aggressive as remoulds such as the Grizzleys, and noticably better than my previous Grabber AT's, which were better than the stock road tyres, but did run out of traction before the car was ready to give up on some earlier green lane trips.

Let me know if you're interested, or want to talk off line in more depth.

Mudflinger,
I had a set of the XP2000's on my 2wd Toyota PU and on my Cutlass. They do good in the wet and snow but I doubt that they would fling alot of mud ::) Actually I use to take the toy (w/xp2000's) to find local caves to explore, and it did realy good for a 2wd.

i tend to stick with the bronco grizzly claws.
not the best for wear rate on the tarmac ... but what do you expect from a mud tyre. in the rough the grip is outstanding.
been on for a year now and will need replacing in the next few months...
still she ain't doing the mileage she was doing as i just got me a honda fireblade for QUICK trips hee hee ;)

I made the mistake of looking at prices for new tyres for my 'zuki  :o  Cripes!

What's a good, general purpose tyre, mostly for raod use, with a bit of mud, snow & gravel tossed in now and then?   :-/

You can Start here for what your looking for at a reasonable price. http://www.e-tyres.co.uk/product_guide.htm For price guide lines and for type of tyres.  ;D
