More than likely rediculous, like all pede prices.....

for 32's, did you consider Motorway Mongrels? A copy of a pede on a remounlded carcass. Just as good as a 32" pede and way cheaper.
(Are they still made?)

Motorway went toes up.

Try a phone and whitepages.
YMMV

A 33" silverstone would probably be cheaper

pedes arent all that expensive - ryano sent mine to me in WA cheaper than the douchebags at a shop here quoted me - and cheaper by around $40 a tyre too. Definitely go to fourbies.

shop around mate, ryan's not the speediest person to deal with. real nice dude just too busy or something. took them at least 3 months to do 5 beadlock rims and fit 35 centipedes to them with me supplying 4 of those tyres. then 2 of them were hissing when i pumped them up....i won't be goin back thats for sure. rather pay extra somewhere else and get good service

thanks boys, will just drop into millards on the way to work tomorrow and find out, i'm not too keen to go with silverstones, they're fairly soft rubber and can roll off the rim easy at lower pressures i've been told.

Simex bead is far worse than the silverstones, its very poor seal. Take good look at set fitted to non-beadlock rims a you will see.

i can second that - i run tubes in my simex ETs cos the beads leak with the slightest hint of mud near them =)

Interesting, have only ever had 1 front tyre with a slow leak on the bead :?
All the others have been great, 35x12.5x15's on 8" rim and no tubes or bead locks.

I got 5 x 35x11.5 99% 'pedes off Fleabay for $1200. They rock on everything except bitumen.

I have had 'em 2 years and had no bead issues.

Have to disagree, I run 36x12.5x15 centipedes tubeless, down to 11psi in the real off camber stuff. I've NEVER had one let me down. I think the trick here is to run them on narrower rims mine are on 8 inch rims rather than the recommended 10.

These were 32x10.5-15 fitted on a 7 inch wide rim.
