2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac - Monster Mudder

My Sport Trac on 38 inch Mudders
My 4x4 truck is a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac model modified for 38 inch tires. It has air bag suspension front and rear, ARB lockers in both axles and lower gear ratios (4.88).
The tires are Gumbo Monster Mudder 38x15. The wheels are standard 15x14 white spokes.
Does anyone know of an online source for these tires? I would be glad if someone can tell me one.
For snow wheeling in Iceland these have proved to be the best overall tire. They work great for airing down and have lasted a really long time.
Naturally fitting such big tires takes a good deal of modifications - but that just adds to the fun :)
My main interest and hobby is to use my 4x4 fitted with great tires to off road adventure tours in Iceland and abroad.
Writing about the experience and taking pictures has come as a natural next step. You can read more about my 4x4 at my website 4x4OffRoads.com
