haha i have to agree there, mind you they seam to handle my low level flying quite well most of the time. but it was brand new and had to be replaced by the same so in the end the tyre cost over 500 bucks rather than the 300 odd because of the insurance and excess etc.

the spare is now locked on with an over nut lock that subsequently fills up with dust and shit when in the bush and is fing hard to get off when you need to. bit of a trick for young players.

no shit, its a good thing the tyre only went flat after a river crossing yeah this piece of tree in the tread has nothing to do with driving into that collection of trees 2min down the road

the people that stole ya tyre and rim probably needed it for their patrol too, you know, the one that they use to tow around your "borrowed" motor bike

wellcome to Australia, in other countries like mine (Venezuela) is pretty much a must to have a padlock or something they just do it for the tyre, the rim, or just for the sake of it

NEVER buy 5 new tyres

well no if you just gonna leave the tyre there for the rest of his life, eventually loosing the tyre.... but if you do the 5 tyre rotation you could get some extras km before buy the new set, and you ll get a good tyre for spare, and not one thats just damage by the sun

5 tyre rotation is a must!
Except i bought directional muddies, so i didn't bother getting 5..

I did find my spare though, a good 30x9.5R15 A/T with 10mm of tread! Tyre yards ftw

[jonno_racing]

My padlock for my spare is twice that size! Haha

But now my spare is just held into the tub with 2 tiedown straps

[alien]

just a $30 bike lock (with code) would be a goer i reckon... those things are inpenetrable and made to be out in the weather =)

Good idea!
One of my friends replaced all his wheel nuts with square headed nuts.. Who the hell is gonna carry a tool around to nick those?

He had 15x10s with TSL Boggers, didn't exactly want them getting nicked.. He lived in a rough spot back then

Most people don't carry a shifter when nicking tyres i'd imagine
They'd be better off with a wheel brace tbh

Nope, just to piss you off..

[alex]

lock nuts are also a good idea, goodyear sells them aswell as other tyre shops

[steak_knife]

^^ hammer & chisel..

If some one want's your tyre, thay WILL get it.

[just_cruizin]

Just run very old super hard swampers that even if you take the valves out the tyre walls don't even flex.
