Awesome price, Aussie made....sounds good.
a set of them in 31x10.5r15 on a 15x8 black dynamic would look sweet.

they are not aussie made and are made in indonesia as far as i know
and are a rip off of the pro comp extreme mud terrain tread pattern
and event use the xmt name which is an abbreviation of extreme mud terrain
which is what the pro comp is called .

Cheap tyres......hmmm. Will they balance and stay that way? Will they hang on wet and dry? Will they wear fast? Delaminate? What's the carcass construction like? Puncture resistance? Are the sidewalls tough?
Unproven, but hey, it's your money.

Hence why I asking for real world opinion first.....Im not one to buy things without alot of research lol.
Im hoping a few people have bought them, and have some first hand experience with them....plus, flexytj sells them at his shop.....so thats a small vote of confidence.
They do say they are an Aussie tyre "The Achilles Desert Hawk X-MT is the latest in MUD Terrain tyre technology from one of Australias fastest growing brands"
but they probably are made OS, like 99% of things now.
So has anyone bought them? If not many people have them and recommend them, Ive settled on my old favourites...Dick Cepek. Found out Bob Jane are the new distributors since Mickey T dropped them to focus on their own line

Which website was I directed too then lol??? im confused.
The Wheel Deal?
Is that not you?
After much more googling...I reckon im settled on some Pro Comp Xtreme AT's in 31x10.5r15 and those Pro Comp 152's in 15x8.......mmm....sexy.
thinking ill stick to just 5, not 6 as the wheel carrier rear bar im getting only has one wheel carrier......
Ill check if I can get a set in Newcastle (Thats where I will be at New Years for a few weeks)
Otherwise ill hit you up for a price, and swing some work freight (Toll ipec) If you reckon I can get them before Xmas...

Anyone in Newcastle keen for a day trip? maybe Stockton or just MT Sugary? We should roll in on New years eve night, Ill spend the first few days bolting goodies to the XJ, saying Hi to the relatives etc, so somewhere around the 5th-6th?
