why run the risk of retreads when you can get new tyres for not much more!

That's them. Has anyone tried, I have ran retreads on my bike for years and have never had a bad one yet. And it goes a shit load faster then the zook.

They look more like an AT than a true mud tyre, suzis are slow, I do not think that a retead is all that bad for a little light zook.

Id never use them but.

Good for you buddy, Just thought i'd post up a Slightly More expensive option for the guy in case he didn't realise that you can pick up a decent brand tyre for not much more, and thats fine if he can't afford it, But at least he knows its there.

IMO - i would never run a retread, period, like i said, my opinion only. plenty of people do and im sure they are as happy as larry.

i rang that guy the other day to see if he is gunna do the 235/75s in the muddy tread pattern, and he said no :(
he said that the 235s are the same height as the 31s anyway, just skinnyer.

for 100 each you cant go wrong, ill probs get some if i can fit them lol

they are the same patten as the old bfg muddy, theyre a mud tyre..
