So are they daily driver tires?
You want AT's or MT's
How much do you wanna spend?
is bling important?


What will you be doing most of?

$180-190 gets you a new Simex MT Centipede. Good allrounder, similar pattern to MT/R's.

If you are in Melbourne and prepared to wait about three months ;) ;)

...... or buy my nearly new ones ;) Actually they are a pretty good tyre for the money and they have a liitle bigger void thatn the MTR for clearing mud but they don't have any side lugging.

remoulds. but anyway.
what vehicle are they for?
buy something used perhaps? you may get a good quality name brand 'extreme terrain' tyre for less than a new set of all terrains.

31's are retreads as runnin4life said. The 32's and up are monoforms which means new rubber bead to bead so basically new tyre except for carcass which is under guarantee anyway. Plus if you look at the diameter measurements on the site the 32 is a small 32 being just over 31.5" inches. Got mine for $185 each in 32" monoform. I believe MTR's are around the $230 mark in a 31.

Second this! They are cheap 110 ea approx!!!!!!

Or some kuhmo muds, or maxxis buckshots.. they are well priced.

BFG are fairly over priced and apparently have girl like side walls.

hey all bringing this one back from the dead

on the motor way site it states that the 31's have a weight rating of 1000kg's or close to it

is that 1000kg's per tyre or on all 4

if its all 4 tyres that would mean the vehicle could weight 4000kg's

and 1000kg's is 1 tonne correct

I had motorway 'groundhog' MT's, cheap as chips yes, but they wore down to unroadworthy condition in about 8 months :shock: , although i do about 4-500k's a week but still didnt get much outta them.
I'm to poor to buy cheap crap
:D (but they did go great in the mud :armsup: )
