Look pretty road-biased, but then again that's all an all-terrain is.
Good price, do they make 'em any bigger than 31"?

these are junk
the reason they are cheap is they are chinese
and made of low quality rubber
these will not compete with cooper tires
bulk has nothing to do with the price they are cheap anyway
these tyres ARE cheap and nasty

The walls look very soft, new tyres that I have seen generally retain some shape in the walls..... imho
But then again I took a gamble on a set of Fate's for my 4by, now they were a great buy, good price too....

IMHO you get what you pay for with tyres. I agree that they look like cheap chinese junk and wouldn't compete anywhere near a cooper.
Interesting to note they don't make note of what the construction is in the add. I would put money on it that they are remoulds too.

They won't be re-caps just a cheap import tyre and the sidwall issue is a real bitch to fit as some of the cheap import tyres are like this at work and on a wide rim can really piss you off Thank christ for 1st yr apprentices and know why i was doin them when i started also this could be from being stacked in the container as this is all we could come up with all the others were ok in same brand just one size must have been stacked on the bottom
Wouldn't expect over 30-40 tho K out of them

That tread pattern is a rip off of the Yokohama A/T + II
They probably are cheap and nasty and still comparable with Cooper crap, though their price is no doubt in line with every other 31x10.5-15 tyre, which is about the cheapest tyre size on the planet along with 7.50's.
But, the tread depth does look very good on these tyres.
