    Remoulded tyres

    Check this vid out, it looks very labour intensive and the care factor at $10 an hr?.....

    I did a trip to cape york on remoulded tyres a few years ago. Never had a flat or problem at all. Still drove on em for a couple of years later without issue.

    Can I put a Holden badge on my Chevy ?

    I really can't see how that company would make much of a profit if it takes several hours to do one tyre. Interesting though.

    Ever priced a Truck Tyre

    80% of Prime Movers and B Doubles would run a full ReMould on all wheels except the 2 front Steer tyres that would generally be premium first use tyres.

    Big bucks there.

    As you can appreciate though a company doing that same process for Car Tyres out of Asia somewhere may not be so diligent!

    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.

    When you get the main construction of the tyre of free its very cheap. And then employees on $5/h its very cheap

    I Ran 33" MONGRELS of my Troopy. $200 a corner, speed rated to 120 kph,
    Delaminated most and they were directional, Still have brand new one here.
    Took them back for warranty after Rep said yes even knowing Motorway was going under.
    So Summing up did my dollars. tread was same as Centipedes, awesome off road,
    WHAT WAS THAT on road lol

    You lost me.. so they delaminated?
    So you got them on warranty even though you used them on the high way?
    But they were awesome off-road?
    No good on bitumen.

    Think hes saying that he went to return the faulty tyres under warranty but cause they were closing down they didnt honour it so he lost out.

    4by you got it, great tyre off road, could not hear your self think on hwy. And yes they delaminated as chucks flew off them .
    very low speed rating , Company going under and did not honour warranty, Will put up pic, they are nearly a 34" x 13",pretty close to a Bogger I say
    Actually paid $180 a corner as I was first to fit Motorway Mongrels
