I have bf goodrich mud-terrains and they're absolutely brilliant. They are standard size...I think 235/65/16 off the top of my head. I wouldn't recommend them for motorway driving...I've tried and they work fine, just not as well as all-terrains. If you don't do many miles get some re-tread mud-terrains which are ussually cheaper. Not sure what the largest size to use for a standard D2

certain mud will get any car stuck, tyres are not always the answer!

You are right, if is soft and deep enough, even a tractor will sink like a stone And they have huge tyres with very aggressive tread.

I quite like my insa special tracks off road - but they're noisy as f@#% on the motorway and they drown out the sound of the V8!!

Goodyears, 16.9 r38 on the back of our 7840, seems to go anywhere! but if you really want to make a mess, it would!! but we tend to keep out the fooking field!
