Sam, the way i see it you can spam the board with your products as much as you like, as long as you are prepared for some competition and take the good comments with the bad, but that is just my thoughts.


On a side note, i was told the RRP on the MTR's is going to be $399, i think they will be up around the 420 for the first few months, but if you think that that is alittle rich, it isnt much more than a BFG and they are alot cheaper than a swamper.

Sam, can you get an overall height of these tyres? i as told they stand around 36.5 inch?


Also anyone know anything about the BFG 37? read in the back of australian 4x4 monthly they are now available?

I will measure one for you tomorrow and give an exact measurement. We did sit one next to a 38 swamper today and they were nearly as tall. We sat it next to a 36 and it was taller but I'll get the tape out tomorrow and be more accurate and let you know.

We dont have a prob with this at all Sam but as Nick said there is and will always be competition out there and as long as it doesnt get out of hand we will allow it.And this goes for everyone.

Ps ;We are looking at setting up a section for local australian 4x4 related companies to post in and advertise and address customers question so when we are ready i will let you know.

Thanks
I measured the 37 and it is exactly 36.5 inches tall.
That was measured with the tyre offthe rim so it will grow a little with air in it.

awesome, thanks sam

there is only one problem dude, you cannot upload a image with spaces in the filename

SOOOO

what you basically have to do is

change the name to
37comparo.jpg (or something with no spaces, upload it again and we will be golden)

thanks champ
