I'll be interested to see how they go. I'm looking for some 33s and they might fit the bill.

Ok So I havnt driven on them yet.
They look fairly impressive though.
Note the inner side wall has the mark where the remould starts from. This set were done over bfg muddies. I am pretty happy with that, cause as far as a tyre frame goes they are pretty good apparently.On the outer wall the remould goes all the way to the bead. This in affect strengthens the outer wall against sticks cause there is a thicker tyre wall to puncture .
These tyres have a left and right and the only problem that causes is the dillemma of what to carry as a spare. Left or Right?
The guys and procomp run there cars on these as daily drivers and they reckon they wear alright. Why would they tell me other wise right!
I will be using them for offroad only and using my 31" at's on road so I will let you know how they perform in the mud. They mesure spot on 33" too. BTW they are speed limited to 120k's

I had 32" Mongrels fitted on Wednesday, they're great, drives really nicely on them.

They'll be off in a couple of months & the 245/75/16 ST's will go back on for summer.

Got the Rancho in-cab done too

I thought it was only retreads that were speed limited to 120

I was always told not to puttoo much faith in retreads at high speeds..
have always driven at 80-90kph when I knew I was on retreads after having one decide it was gonna bubble up on me.. the tyre itself looked like it had another one growing on it.. scarey thing was even once Id stopped it kept inflating while I was removing it..
