Noticed a new arrival in the CP we are at with a single axle 15ftr off road van with muddies on whilst the tug has AT's.
Why would you put muddies on a van ?

Assuming car and van had same sized wheels he may having been running-out tyres that were on the car.

This is what I do, and the reason that I have 10 wheels and tyres all the same size.

Perhaps the van you saw was near-new, and the retailer had fitted muddies for the 'pose' factor. Cheers

I have muddies on my single axle 18ft van which I just bought....2nd hand, the manufacturer fitted the muddies, I assume to enhance the big tough awesomeness look they thought would appeal..... and because coincidentally the tyres achieved the desired load rating too..... I would prefer a steer type tyre for straight tracking and reduced rollout resistance.

I guess they could be used like as spare or swapped after 2 years if bolt pattern is the same ? Saves a little .
