Then spend another tenner and a couple of hours to make it fit

It is a rip off, but personally I couldn't be arsed with the messing about. I hate the puncture proof wheels anyway, it's like having a pneumatic drill in each hand on hard ground

Well logic says if the mud is soft enough for a wide tyre to sink in, then a thinner one will sink in even deeper...I was at Cromwell last winter and the puncture proof sunk in so deep I could barely move it. Plus they're solid and rattle everything to hell.

Yes I've found thinner tyres better in mud as well

No logic doest say that at all. If the mud is deep enough for a wide wheel to sink then it will be harder to push due to surface resistance.

Agreed its certainly possible to overthink everything in a simple pursuit like angling. Common sense, observation and experience are all that's necessary really to be successful and enjoy it.
But can't let the science comment pass. Everything modern humans are, society, lifestyle, business, industry, materials, manufacture, food, agriculture and the energy needed for it all are the result of and are utterly dependent on science. I grant you its not all good or positive but overrated. No, can't say that.

You're not wrong mate. But you only have to get a puncture half a mile from the car once to make it all worth it . Not much fun believe me!

In other news, it's ok to prefer thicker or thinner tyres in mud guys. There really is no need to justify which you prefer or why the opposite is worse.

I personally couldn't care less if it's thick or thin as long as it doesn't get a puncture
