thinking about buying a set of mongrels
just wondering how well they bag

seen a mate on 3psi with his simex and there was nothing.
they were hard as.

What's the going rate for mongrels these days...

Mate the guys i have seen using them seem to get them to bag really well. You need to consider they are on a an all tarrain carcus, which usually has a much thinner side wall. I think it is the bridgestones that get re-wrapped.

if ya goin for the 32 mongrel they r way short on dia for there size. mine measured just under 31" on an 8" rim, if ya want a serious tyre go the simex they bag really well when i had em on the zook @ 10 psi. while im here i got a set of 32 pedes for sale if ur intrested. :D

I been using my mongrels for about a year now.
I like them, I am very happy with the performance and bagging, but would go real simex any day.... but saving money sometimes takes precedence.
2 of mine are on desert dueller carcasses, the other 2 are olympic overlanders I think. I needed to put tubes in fronts as they bead leaked too often....
They are radial, pre used and therefore very soft.
Great for zoox and lighter cars, but I'd be hesitant to use them on a heavy rig.
I run 25psi on road, 10 off road and 6-8 when getting serious.
mine are just over 31" on 8's
I paid $150 each fitted and balanced.

I don't bother leting mine down offroad just 25-30 al the time.

I guess im not driving on rock though, just mud and keeping them fuller gives u slighty more axle height and no bead leaks..

What sort of terrain do u want to use them on?
