I thought about getting bighorns as they're similar to the old wrangler mtr tread but we use these for work & the wall don't seem that good. I just want a good muddy with minimal punctures when I'm in pulled mulga type country.

The bighorns are an outstanding tyre imo
What do you mean the wall don't seem good
I'm on my second set, got 80k out of the 1st set and currently at almost 60k on my second. These tyres have seen everything from rocks, mud, sand, corrugations and whatever else you can think of and to this day never had a puncture/sidewall damage. I run at 36 psi on road and as low as 10 psi when out 4wdriving.
Don't hesitate as you will be impressed

no problems and the diameter you have nominated is smaller and legal- CD runs those exact tyres, but his GLX-r has 7.5" rims
not that it matters when 265 wide
