The grass type would be the ones to go for.... The rally stage ones have re-inforced sidewalls and would probably give a hard ride on a lightweight Moke.
You could probably get away with just fitting them to the front wheels to save money

What size wheels do you have? There are lots of choices of winter M&S tyres in 13" that are good on and off road.

I think he runs 12" and with the profile of these type of off roaders 13" tyres would be rubbing the inner wings at every corner

I imagine that limits things a lot.

There's a fair(ish) selection of road 12" tyres, it's just the off road/rally mostly stuff starts at 13" except for the 10" for the historic rally brigade
