Get a price on the Nankang muds...brand new and will certainly do the job...we have extensively tested many sets over 6 months.

I paid $600 ($150 ea) fitted and balanced for Simex Centipede MT Radials 31x10.5. Could have got them cheaper but didn't want to drive across town. Rather them than retreads for the money. Seem fine so far.

The retreads your talking about are very stiff and dont bag out like normal tyres do. They will bag out at extremly low pressure but still dont seem to work as well Ie mould over rocks. That said they are exellent it deep mud and clay, wet earth, leaf litter. If you shop around you might do better then $120 per tyre.

just called a couple of places about the simex's, 1st quote was $165each fitted and balanced. ok, a little far from the $150 someone said before, but better then the $195 per tyre only i had for the toyos. rang up next place, $150 each. :armsup:

They seem to be good value for money, as a mate has them on his surf and hasnt been dissapointed yet.
