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..
