BFG Mud Terrains if you can get them in the UK in 15" size (apparently a not popular size here, so importers don't bring in, maybe true, maybe just excuses...?)

BFG ATs too

I have BFG AT 225/75/16 for my Syncro 16. On stock springs they rub a bit on full lock. Would have preferred 215/75/16 but could not get them anywhere in the UK.

Seems my local supplier doesn't keep much BFG, but it is available with a couple of days wait.
215/75/15's in AT seem to be all BFG UK stock, no 215/15's in MT or AT
I also see Colway are no more, seems to be plenty of budget stuff out there though.
