that's more of a 33x11.5
there are a few threads on here that already discuss the performance of remanufactured tyres

I've got a set of 33/12.5/15 and am a big fan of them. They are however, extremely noisy on the blackstuff but then again I only use em offroad.

Had no dramas with the 33's as yet, although I have only used them a handful of times so far.

I ve got a mate that has mongrels on his hilux and he has a probem with the wire on the inside of the tyre puncturing through the outside of the tyre.
They replaced it for him but the one they replaced it with has only been remoulded on the tread and the one out side wall of the tyre. The other side is still the original tyre. Its more like a retread than a remould.

seems king of silly to pay $250 for a remanufactured bad copy of a centipede when there are guys on here selling 80% + used centipedes for around the same price..
my two cents

i've got a set of the 32" on mine and there great, let them down to 6psi no worries, probably could go less but haven't needed to. and as for noise a mate has the simex ones and mine are a little quieter and at $200 fitted its a nice little saving

Ive got the 33/12.5 on my lux and found them to be great off road. Yes they are noisy on the black stuff but that is not what i got em for. I paid $290 per corner with 15 x 8 black sunnies from pro-comp in Narre warren (vic). Good value, good grip. I cant complain.
