Yes, I've used them successfully in the past. They are very good in deep mud - they have tall knobs and a fairly square profile, so not as good an all rounder as the Bonty Mud-X. Like most Schwalbe tyres the sidewalls aren't that strong, I ruined one on a flint in the Chilterns.
At that price though I'd say they are a good buy.

The 1.5" is undoubtedly the best tyre for deep mud, but they're truly attrocious on anything else. If you have sloppy mud around you I'd get a Mud X, they're a better all round winter tyre.

yep, another thumbs up for them from me.

Good in very muddy conditions. The big knobbles can be bit too big for much else though I find.
