I user to work for Motorway in the mid to late 80's when i lived in Stawell.
I would check that you are getting a good casing when you buy them and check the inside of the tyres if you can (before fitting), for sidewall separation which will be a bubble on the inside of the casing somewhere, and check for any odd raised areas in the tread, which would also mean a separation.
Things may have changed since i was there, but sometimes the odd dud tyre would get through the inspection points, since they were only checked by eye after coming out of the oven before being sent to the moulding area.

I used to run a set of Bandag cold caps( brawny pattern) on an old cruiser and found they were really good too.

well i have mongrel muddies on my car, and allthough noticed bad wear on the fronts (which is due to my car not the tyres as the backs are fine)

i'm really happy with them

now when i went to buy tyres for my car i was orignally going to put bfg's on i got quoted for 245/70/16's for 5 tyres nearly 1500 dollars i nearly fell over.........

to put 5 mongrel 255/70/16's tryes on cost me 900 dollars so i figured with the money i saved i would only need to put another 300 dollars to get another set of 5 so even if they didn't last as long as the bf's i've almost got 2 sets for the price of one so i went with the mongrels

the guy that fitted them for me said that they were pig to get balanced, but apparently all remoulds are....

when i he realised that the car was mine and not ians he laughed in my face told me that they would be noisy and that i was in for a dam bumpy ride and look at me as if to say "buy a hyundi sweet heart"
to which i replied MATE i drive a landrover that is deisel that bangs squeeks and rattles do you think i would really care if my tyres are noisy or a little uncomfortable i think not

i took the car back to him a while after to have my tracking done, and he drove the car! he came back with shock on his face and said he cant believe how well the tyres drove he also said that they are no where near as noisy as some of the muddies he had fitted recently......

so although the tyres ARE noisy and when you first put them on your get shaken to death as the blocks are really quite square when they first go on........ i think they are good value for money, they are aggresive and from reports they do wear well, not that i can comment as the front end of my car has obvioulsy got something going on.

oh one thing that i forgot to mention is they are directional so that might also be something to consider when buying
