Tyre advice
Hey there
I own a Subaru L Series Sportwagon with a 2 inch lift and 14inch sunraisers. Last summer (rainy season) i ran 14inch balloons (tyres) with road tread on my suby. It did very well suprisingly, took it around glasshouse mountains in deep mud and through water almost up to the bonnet height. Basically the car loved it i am keen to get out there again,this time i want to take it to the next level. I was looking to spend most of my time in the mud again however with the exception of doing some sand driving as well. Im after some advice on the best bang for your buck tyre that will do well off road. Im not after mud tyres as i want to try some sand driving also. Would be keen to come out on some local cruises also however i want the confidence of tougher than car spec tyres .
Tried numerous tyre companies to get the same dumb expression and response, 'ugh we dont really carry AT tyres in that size you need 15 inch or larger'. One even laughed about me and my car when he was on the phone to his tyre monkey mate about the possibility ordering in such tyres.
So basically i need some advice please any one in Queensland who could recomend some cheap offroad tyres and where to get them

Tyres
Try and look up on Beaurepaires or another car tyre compnay they should be able to get 27 or higher for fourteen inch! Or if you want you can do some work to the area around the wheel so you can fit 15 teens and 32 inch tyres! Hope this works

How do you find the corsa m/t's as i found them for $140 each at bridgestone, its just they would not be suited to sand driving right?
