    G'day team,
    when I was a little boy they used to have retreads. Are these actually retreads but with an up to date U.S. name?
    Good luck with them if they are. They were cheaper but you didn't get new tyre mileage out of them and they were prone to delamination. Can say, 'been there, done that'.
    Maybe though that was then and now a different technique is used and it's better.
    Dunno

    Retread is just the tread, not the whole case.

    I have 3 mongrels in 31 10.5 r15 - trying to get may hand on a 4th - great off road - on road sound like you are standing next to jet.

    The actual size of the tyre was 32.

    Yeah my 33x12x15s were more like 34" tall and 14" wide. Call them what you want they are way to dangerous IMO
    @ GQ Tank try Lilydale tyre and brake they may just may have a Mongrel on the shelf
