Does anyone know of an Australian distributor for these tyres?

Was looking at their Dirt Grip tyres in the 36 x 14.5 or 37 x 12.5

I'm running Cooper ST's at the moment and am looking for something that is a bit more aggressive but is still well behaved on the road and would wear a little better than some of the other 37" tyres on the market.

I also looked at the Dick Cepek FC Radial II's but at an RRP of $680 for a 37x13.5 it was a bit rich for my wallet.

Hey Butt Craic,
Do you realise the 37 x13.5 Dick Cepeks are 17inch? If thats ok, then I would recommend the Radial Claws which are not only cheaper but are also a better offroad tyre and suprisingly a better on road tyre as well. Like Ive said before, I give a 10% discount for members of this board, so that brings the price down to $574.20 each incl gst.

Cheers
Robbie

The DC Radial FC is actually available in the equivalent of a 37x13.5 (325/85/16 . . . or something like that) which is what I was looking at.

Know a few people running the Goodyear MTR but the compound is really a bit soft for what I want - a tyre that will really just be a road only tyre - and I'm worried about wear. Given the difference in prices though, the MTRs are looking a good option.
