Opinions on Bronco retreads or remoulds in general
MZ6666:
I had a set of Grizzly Claws....Great for off-road but absoulutely sh*te on road. Unstable,loud,prone to changing direction of their own accord, started to break up after 1500ish miles. And I don't think they're over cheap either?
Now running a set of BFG muds......They're stunning and super quiet even at 70mph on a concrete motorway with the windows down. £100 each fitted 'n' balanced (265/75's) I can live with that.
And as for wagons running remoulds.........How many disintergrated tyres do you see on the motorways ??? :shock: But I suppose it's not too bad when you've got another 17 underneath your vehicle :wink:

Truck and plane tyres are made to be re-cut/moulded. 4x4 tyres are not . Brands such as colway have been around a while and seem to have a good reputation but "other" brands are dodgy european carcasses that "may" have a history.
You can also tell a lot of remoulds by their poor mould and lumpy side walls.
I have remoulds on the site vehicle as it only goes 10mph max but I run branded on the road vehicle.
Just my oppinion though and folks are free to make their own choices (I think) :?

I have BFGoodrich MT which are supurb on and off road. I also have used them for miloes and miles.
As for all this "tearing them offroad crap", how many tyres have people actually done like that.
Chalk, flint, stone. I have not. I dont think i have ever known anyone tear open a BFGoodrich. I know of one Bronco that tore open!
Remoulds should be about £25, they are reused three times and only require new tyre treads.
Not for me.

I have just changed my grizzly claws for pro-comps as i wanted 35's. The disco runs so much better, handling and quicker acceleration (even with the extra 3" diameter). The main problem i had with the Broncos is that they peel around the bead. Spoke to Bronco and they said it was normal just cut it off with a knife!!! When the bead peels away small bits of muck can push down in giving a poor seal, hence th last time i drove on them i pulled two off the rim.
