i think they are called exclusive tyres? or something like that.

I priced Q78's at about 285 a tyre, and a mate with a zuk priced 33's or 32's at about 230ish a tyre.

+ about 30 to get them balanced.

Dave.


You got swampers balanced :rofl:


I had mine balanced ... only took 700 to 900 grams :D

But they needed it .. or it was deathwobbles

You will have all the drawbacks of a swamper on the raod and very few of the benifits of a swamper offroad except in sloppy goop mud ..

Get lockers and gears before blowing your $$ on useless bling things like tiny swampers ..

And gurls are more interested in how long you can go over all terrains than they are in weird looking rubbers


tyres are a priority due to my low treaded 235/15 muds not being very effective in anything. gearing will be ok as im doing a 1liter transfer conversion at the same time. What tyre would you recomend in a 31'?

Chris seems please with his mongrels and they were pretty damn cheap too.

I still think 34X9.5 is the go though ;)
