Opinions on Bronco retreads or remoulds in general
jjsaul:
one of the reason i dont put BFG's (or other expensive tyres) on mine isnt that they last longer...its if you rip one open offroad, a remould costs you £50 , not £120 for a BFG etc!!!!!
so it isnt being tight, its that i couldnt afford to replace it.
and although i havnt personally ripped a tyre yet, i know plenty of friends who have (remoulds and bfg's)
we have grip edges on the 110 and yes they do wear pretty quick but they seem decent tyres.
i have macho's on my RRC and again they wear fast (could be to do with my driving) so i bought a set of G Grabber road tyres as well.
ive just bought a set of bronco grizzly claws for my project but havnt used them yet so i cant comment.

Iv'e just done a quick calculation
My last set of BFGmuds were bought 6 years ago at a cost of £420 which included modular wheels and delivery to my door
They saw me through two 110 V8's and over 48000 miles
I then sold them on for £80 so nett cost to me was £340
Over 312 weeks that works out at less than £1.09 a week - a fair comment ?
LandRoger:
I have used the Bronco Roughrider M Tyres on my 90 , its a BFG M T copy - and i rate them highly good in the mud exellent on road and they wear well too, and at 50.00 a corner a real good deal - i dont have a problem with Retreads as they are made to a British standard - and provideing you drive like a 4x4 should be driven with its high centre of gravity shouldnt have a problem on the road,
Thrasher:
I rate MT/R's - £375-£400 for a set and I got 50,000 out of them.....can't fault 'em. They have tougher sidewalls too.....
....although I should bow out of this conversation seeing as I spent nearly £1400 on a second set of wheels and mud tyres for Owl....

Strange that these folk can afford to run a V8 yet wont spend out for proper tyres.

My RRC is the same cost per mile on fuel as mums rover 200 thank you.
