g'day all

i just recently put a 2" OME lift into my 47 series Troopy and iv been trying to decide what size tyres i should buy. at the moment iv got 31" ST coopers which have been a realy good tyre and ill keep untill theyre worn but i want a mud terrian as well and the guy at ARB reckoned 33" tyres will still rub on the rear sills and recommended going for a skinyer tyre on a 16" rim. is this right or he trying to get me to buy a more expensive tyre?

also im not sure which actual tyre to buy, i know the cooper STTs are good but was thinking maybe a set Micky Thompson MTZ's might be the way to go?

what do you all think?

I'm running 35" BFG muddies on my BJ40... had to cut the rear guards, but doesn't really rub anywhere...

Cheers, Matt
