thats what mongerals and other are.. new tread glued/moulded to them.

and what would you run them on if not on your car?

[tankekwee1972]

i have a set of the Motorway M/T..... awesome in MUD and noisy on bitumen. But can't complain for the $$$ you are shelling out for them.

[Bingham]

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

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! ) for $600. and by my maths, rounding the 8 and carrying the 2, that equals $150 per tyre. brand spanking new too!

[luxinator]

when i said run them on your car i meant full time not just as a spare tyre

[munga]

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..

[damo lux]

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

[munga]

ok cool, ive only done about 2000k's on mine, just wore off the whiskers really. but ive got a lightweight zooky. hopefully they will wear less than horribly on mine.

but now you know theyre prolly no go for you, luxinator

[bad_religion_au]

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...

[Tas_Dean]

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.

Cheers, Dean

[bruiser]

does remould mean the same as retread?

[bogged]

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

some have no choice.. we would all like to afford $400 claws per corner, but some just cant.

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

poor people cant afford cheap things

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

I would 100% agree with that.

[Spike_Sierra]

all four of my motorways are fine. wearing really well, and already done 10,000k's on em.
i would buy them again.
i guess all tyres arent the same, some have a good batch etc...
