    Cheap mud tyres

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/265-65-17...0527768&_uhb=1

    These might be ok if you had spare rims and wanted to use them on weekends out in the mud???

    Oy don't share my gem...

    Na all good. I was going to grab a set of 33's and run them on the balance beads.
    Imo they would be fine play tyres and running the beads if you do tear a lug or 2 it doesn't matter..

    Bring on tax time...

    the look similar to the Insa Turbo Special track, which I have on my MQ, although the lugs on the Insa stick out further around the edges. I can vouch for the traction of these tyres off road, it's superb. Bit noise on road though, as you'd expect!

    There are so many Simex copies out. I've got some in Silverstone brand. Great traction offroad but they are a cheap tyre. I get punctures all the time and yes I do air down to 18psi or lower if needed.

    That link is for Mongrel tyres which are a RETREAD! Not even a ReMould. I would not Spit on them.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Hi Kallen,

    Yeah back in the Old Days the Mongrels where a true ReMould. Bead to bead and performed really really well. Plenty of guys ran them before Simex 35s became the norm. Most in a 33, and most really pleased with them.

    Mongrels went off the market about 4 or 5 years ago and were no longer available. Plenty of Zook drivers were spewing mate. Perfect for them.

    This New Breed of Mongrel is a Reatread only and really not comparable to the old product for that alone. I would not even fit these to a Trailer mate. Junk mate.

    How does a retread differ from a remould? I had aways thought they were the same thing.

    I think it's to do with the amount of area covered on the tyre. Retreads are just the tread pattern and moulds might encase the entire tyre.....could be wrong though.

    These would be ok for mud bashing but not so great for the road.
