Either Cooper or Buckshots.

Don't rule out maxxis trepadors and bighorns, trepadors are actually really good on road and bighorns were supposed to be the replacement for Buckshots.

hmm the side wall dont bother me as they just get covered in shit to be honest! and Steve i have heard good and bad about them but to be honest it will only bet going off road 3 times a year and maybe the od pay and play if that!

Coopers stt's would be nice but im stuck between them and buckshots

well ive seen scottie's with the big ol buckshots on and the the mud certainly was flying! not that it helps but also a good tyre.

but in all honesty the special tracks I got off rob are my first set of aggressive mud tyres an I love em!
