I personally have had a lot of experience with the BFGs, they're excellent, although if I were to ever buy 14" tires again I'd get the Cooper STTs; HOWEVER I'm not sure they're still available.
Monster Subaru sold to a good home!! Still a Subaru owner. Will try stay in the Ausubaru loop. Sorry :cool:

If you are wanting a good off-road tyre in my oppinion you cant go wrong with the Toyo Open Country 27/8.5/14 I had them on the MY and they were awsome , got great milage on them and we did some really rough tracks , ie Birdsville track and the Developmentle road out of Birdsville and a hell of a lot of bitumen.

There was about 1/2 as many Cooper 14" STTs available 2weeks ago :) of about 10 or so....if your quick you may be lucky...as I believe Fang pulled out of getting a new set. but I'm thinking wether I should get one more spare......
The pattern is more aggressive than I expected, should work well as muddies....
yeah there a bit smaller than the 27"super Tripper..main reason why I did go for em.

stinky for the kind of bush bashing you do i reckon the kuhmo 27" mudders are going to be hard to beat.. very good offroad and not too expensive

I have also seen fang's tyres work offroad and they really bite in and grip. very impressive

Should do! they're all in the 26"-27" range. The Wrangler TGs are excellent tyres, but I think they're closer to 26" than 27"
