In the forum classifieds....

Otherwise I recommend maxxis buckshot mudders for a super tough cheap tyre.

Nankang mudders are generally always cheaper, Got mine at $185 for a 33! (really 32)

It pays to shop around... Quotes on fones etc, flick through the yellow pages

I (and a few of my mates on various rigs) are running Maxxis Bighorns. These are more aggressive than the Buckshots and I have found them to be great! They are the best mud tyre under $200 IMHO (I reckon better than many that are over $300 too). They even drive nice on the road! :)

I am running them (31x10.5) on a Speedy 15x8 -24 rim.

Cheers,

Pez

I can't fault my Silverstone MT117 Sport tyres. They're not noisy on the road and grip very well including the sidewalls. I think the old owner paid about $200ea for 31x10.5.

What size, and what is your meaning of cheap? (i.e. under $200, under $150.......)

2nd hand is always an option for the budget oriented, my road tyres are 31x10.5R15 Simex Centipede MTs which I got for $300 (set, with spare BFG), but I had to get ahold of another one, as 1 was torn. Better bargins than this can be had if yu are prepared to wait. Note brand new of these tyres is around the $200 each mark, can be had for about $180 if you try a bit.

I also recomend really getting to know what you want, and be prepared to bargin hard with the tyre seller, untill you get them for the price you want to pay (be reasonable). This applies to both new and 2nd hand. You would be amazed at the mark up on some tyres, particularly at some of the 'big chain' tyre mobs.

Go see Ryano at Fourbys on the Moorooka Magic Mile. 38922766.

He can get any tyre you want at the best price. I would be looking at Maxxis or Nankang if you want a bang for buck tyre.

Not huge tyres and not super agressive but pretty cheap?

Ever used them? No? Then don't knock em. For what they cost they are good.

What he said, I got a set of new 31x10.5's Firestone Firehawk RMT's for $165 each that worked well, for their price.
