OK I HAVE SUM BAD BAD NEWS ABOUT THESE TYRES

I dont know if anyone else has checked there tyes or had any troubles but mine are goin to be replaced by silverstone and hopefully I have better luck with the next set.

First of all the tyre size vary alot two measure close to 35" one measures 34.5" and the smallest one is very noticable at only 34".
Secondly the tyre join in the rubber right at the edge of the bead has begun to tear, I was told to look out for this as I know of a fella who had two of these tyre very badly torn, the tyre that measure only 34" is loosing air at about 6psi per day I have found out that it has torn right were the bead is held over 3/4 way around the whole tyre (it is by far the worst tyre and most dangerous).

I am recomending everyone check and double check these tyre if you own them and I hope that I dont have the same problems with my next set I missed out on a set of 38.5" swampers because of this aswell

Why, I have heard of no problems like this from the Monoform tyres. Remoulded tyres like the monoforms have to be so careful of their quality control because they are remoulded

Visit Bob Jane in frankston,They have 2 on display not Mongrels but they are Monoforms, but in the same breath it wouldn't surprise me if there was more to the story (e.g wrong pressures etc. )especially considering it is Bob Jane after all Maybe this has clouded my judgement a little but i would still consider buying Mongrels for price alone maybe not for every day use though

What, do they have busted tyres on display to scare you off buying retreads? Because Bob Jane has no vested interest in you buying lovely expensive brand new tyres at all....
