downside is i got quoted from the only guy in aus that seems to have them (lindsaystyres.com.au) $275ea... he's in VIC though so the OP wouldnt have to pay shipping if he can drive there.

These look pretty chunky and cheap. I think they are a retread like the mongrels though.

Dave at lindsays is a solid guy. great to deal with. Those others are retreads. I ran retreaded muddies on my zook for a number of years. soft compound muddies that worked really well in all conditions and cheap as fuck.

I would give them a go if i was after pansy ass small tyres

These are a remould
What is the difference between a retread and remould?

A retread is a strip of rubber stuck onto the old tread face of a tyre.
A remould is a high temperature and pressure process
(much in the same way as original manufacture)
of recasting of rubber onto the whole outside of the tyre from bead to bead

on a pre tested tyre carcass
Michelin and Bridgestone already do this to truck tyres and is a proven technology

Remoulding a tyre reduces significant consumption of oil products and CO2 emissions compared with manufacturing new tyres, continuing the Tread Lightly philosophy adopted by recreational organisations, without sacrificing off road traction
