Andy,
We have them.....
Not done much with them yet, but they're pretty good on the road, and have seemed good in mud so far.

It's worth checking out LW Vass ,Ampthill in Beds. for ex-mil tyres , I'm sure i saw some 20" stuff there . 12.50 xcl michelins might be nice, but so would agri tyres mmmmm

Sorry, I was looking through the pics I have here at work but don't have any really good shots of the tyres on me mog. The MPT's are pretty good on the road and I've never got stuck but then, to be honest, I've never really done any serious offroading with it yet.
By serious, I mean serious for a Mog! I've used it in places where the shogun got stuck in sticky mud and places I wouldn't even consider taking the shogun but that's not really a good barometer of offroad performance!
I guess it depends what you're going to use it for. there was a thread a wee while ago talking about some pretty reasonable (£140) speed-rated agrio tyres that look appealing. Not good if you're going to be doing a lot of road miles. Mine rarely goes far on the road (being taxed as an agricultural machine, obviously I NEVER go further than 10km from my home)...
