I think so too. Shame there aren't more choices for tyres.
No rubbing, enough pinch on the rim to be a poor-man's-beadlock. I run the same equivalent size on 16" rims too (285/75?) which has more tyre options, but i love the gold facctory steelies

I run that on 3 sizes of rim.
33x10.5 on 15 inch.
285/75r16.
285/70r17.
The 15 inch was a one time and only opportunity. For whatever reason they imported that size by mistake, sold the units they had and never imported them again. If you call their (BFG) customer service here they´ll say that size was never on the local portfolio.

Father Inlaw just gave me a swag he had and only used once which is great as I desperately need a new one.
I understand it’s prob not an expensive one but there is zero branding on it, would anyone have an idea on what brand this could be?

Looks similar to the unit by Cabelas in the US, originally selling for circa $129USD, then their popularity went through the roof and you could not buy one for less than $399USD. Compact design, but based on the old banana lounge stretcher concept, biggish flat folded footprint, , flat lid wont shed water that well if its not tight and definitely a problem in the snow. I have a bivvy from cabelas made from the same materials as this style of enclosure and its definitely waterproof. The design allows you to open the thing right up for hot nights as well. Good score I reckon.

Thanks mate, yep I did notice the flattish roof could be of concern, I'll have another play to see if I can get it more pitched.
