    They are remoulds, Motorway Mongrels. They look the part. I've heard mixed stories about there offroad performance, some say great some say crap.

    i borrowed some of a mate 33x12.5 15"
    he only had 2 mongrels so i put them on the back and he also had 2 bfg mud terrains which i put on the front

    man my defender was all over the road like a mad womens s*#T
    i drove home 10ks turned around back to his place and put my wheels back on

    it was very scary and VERY dangerous i dont know if it was the mixture of tyres or the width or the offset on the rims but not for me

    I looked at them yonks ago, only in 33" then from memory.

    Tread depth was only 1/2 or 2/3 of a Simex. False economy.

    Simex 32/10.50/16 which measures up as 33" is about $290 last time I looked.

    Regards
