Motorway Mongrels: A retread version of the simex Jungle trekker 2. was quoted $178 for 30x10.5's from the WA supplier. Serious mud tyres- you'd probably want another set for the road though.... and a rattle gun and trolley jack.

If it's just for weekend work and not for crossing the Simpson, This place May hold a few answers, I found it when I was doing my own research after staking a couple of my own(Kumho).
In the opinion of the people conducting the test, the $165ea Sumitomo Serengeti in the off-road stakes(gravel road, rocks & mud) outperformed all but the BFG.
I'm not saying this is my opinion, just offering a bit of info I found.

Only available in 31 and 33, but I have been running SAVERO mud terains for two years without fault, good road grip and decent off road, ie they're no swamper.

Only had had
mine for six weeks now, they perform fantasic, but really don't have my opinion of how long they with last yet, though have read that that they don't last as long a BF Goodridge. Expect 50,000KM, there great for slippery/ muddy tracks. Stuff all road noise at the monment as they are still running on the centre track. As ACDC states great value for money and I'd get them again.
I find the tread is shaped a bit like a tractor tyre if you get stuck in forward no problem reversing out, had a thought that when I go hard muddy tracks about swapping the left and rights over so the tread work better going forword. Yeah go get them.

I can't compare them to other tyres, but I'm pretty happy with the preformance of Sumitomo Serengeti's around Alice on a Toyo 60.

Not $35.00 difference $60.00.
Generally speaking if a tyre does not wear it does not grip.

You should get into Bridgestone mud tyres for around that price. Use them myself, had no problems. I also use them as day to day tyres and perform
well on bitumen as
well.

Yeah, The bridgestones work
well and last a long time. Last price I got quoted was $225 for 32x11.5x15. I have used BF Goodrich before but always seemed to end up with a stick throughthe tyre. Probably just me though.

4wd tyres do seem a tad expensive hey. $325 for 4 tyres fitted and balanced on our pord pelican. If I get 285/75 16s for the patrol it'll cost nearly that much for one tyre. I know they're a bigger stronger tyre but 400% more still seems a bit rude.
