    They're the same tread pattern as my Greenway Machos, which are an excellent tyre.

                  cheers BOYO. are they just gonna be an offroad set if you've got them with rims? if you don't mind me asking, how many beans did you have to part with? oh, and did you get machos of the geolanders?

                    You lucky sod. When I was after mine I checked round to try and get the 33" ones, and the general story was that Greenway/Colway hadn't actually managed to supply any for the best part of a year - something about problems finding good carcasses to rebuild - so I settled on the 31". Not sorry mind, but would have liked 33"'ers.

                      I had to compromise - I had to go for the 16'' rims so I could have 33'' tyres - they still cannot get good 15'' carcases. I just thought what the heck.....

                      For 4 tyres, white 8 spoke rims, balanced, delivered, inc. vat. I paid £390

                      Tyres were 33x12.5, R16.

                      I got them because I went through a real rubber thing when I seen Slugsie's - they really look good. I've just had 24 brand new chromed nuts delivered so I can fit them on the weekend (you have to use bevelled nuts on the steel rims).

                      The rims look to be really good quality - apparently there are some el cheapo Chinese ones knocking about.
