there is a frightening push in the world to buying cheap sh#t..........

cheap short term 9 times out of 10 will be more costly in the long.....

you get what you pay for......

id rather hunt for a good deal on a reputable tyre non remoulded skinned fashioned or whatever........

use fourums like this to get aquainted with guys like ryano at fourby's then you can get a great deal on any rubber for that matter......
Go the CLAWS :twisted:

i was thinking about retreads, then i rang a few places and got 4 Simex 31" Simex Centipedes (ok, they're just normal muddies, but the DO say centipedes on them, as i like to point out! :lol: ) for $600. and by my maths, rounding the 8 and carrying the 2, that equals $150 per tyre. brand spanking new too!

you can get hankooks for about the same money as the simex mt's as well (hankooks come in mroe than 1 size).
look like a bfg, dunno about the quality, but then, i dunno about the quality of the motorway carcasses either.
and some of the remoulds can be a right bastard to get balanced.
if you cant afford the brand of tyres you really want, wait it out, or get some used ones from someone who wants to upsize..

hankooks are shite! :shock: Had a set on my old lux and they wore horribly, even for their cheap price I would stay away from them.

my old troopy ran hancooks on the front (remoulds on the rear). the remoulds delaminated on a long trip.

the hancooks got a wierd wear pattern on every second lug, alternating, so looking across the tire it'd go raised lowered raised lowered.

but this was after 60 thousand k's on a troopy with shoddy kingpin bearings. mostly country driving... they dug almost as well as the set of bfg's on the back(that i got for a carton of melbourne bitter when the retreads delaminated)

so for the money i was impressed...

I've got a set of motorways and I would not recommend them to anyone, nor would I buy another set. Out of four tyres two have come to grief. One bulged the sidewall (on a gravel road) and went out of round, the bulge in the sidewall was about 2 inches out past the profile of the sidewall and was about a quarter of the sidewall.
The other tyre lifted a section of the tread, about 4 inches square.
