Just reading up on them now, made in Spain, remoulded, just came into Australia so you'll be a pioneer if you buy them. If they are cheap enough I'd give them ago as a set of mud bash/donut tyres.

some of their tyres really looks like a copy of bfs me reckons..

prob made in same factory. In same mould, then they add different details on it later

im pretty confident on giving them a go. ive been on there main website and read lil more bout them... only thing to choose now is the tire...im either going for the Dakar (80%OFF,30%On) or Traction Track (70%Off,30%On) anyone give me an idea???

I'd go with the Dakars (BFG pattern) or the Sahara's (Yokohama Geolander pattern)

Retreads or Recaps used to be called Remoulds

Alan

My understanding is a remould includes a new tread and side wall right to the bead. A recap is just a new tread area?

Yeah I thought the same as you Kingcab.

Never heard of them, but I tend to stick with what I know.

Tyres I run Coopers, TV's etc Panasonic only.

Dave.

yeh retreads wouldnt last as long then. maybe cheaper, but wont last as long as your normal new tyre.

but being a remoulded tyre would that not men that it has been meltd down and reconstructed??? which means its liek a new tire

I have been looking at them for a few months now, and I plan on getting a set in a month or so, I have $500 saved so far and can't wait to get a set of muddies.

has anyone been quoted a price on any of these tyres?

this is the quote i got from the ebay dude, same price for the Dakar style tires

shipping is $90, so $889 for 4 x Traction
Tracks in 265/75/R16. The traction track are about 10mm taller and
have deeper tread compared to the Dakar. They have a broader tread area
and a squarish shoulder to them. They still bite
well off road.

I am thinking of getting the Special track in 235/85/16

Insa Turbo SPECIAL TRACK 235/85 R16 4wd 4x4 mud tyres - eBay Tyres, Wheels, Tyres, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 16-Sep-10 15:14:26 AEST)

I have a shipping company that can deliver them allot cheaper than this guy, so I will organise that part myself, or if I am heading down that way in a few weeks I will just pick them up myself.

How you guys going with the Insa's?

I ended up getting the 235/85/16 (32") in the Sahara pattern. I have been out a few times with them and they are great. I have been keeping up with guys in GQ Patrols running 35" Simex Centerpedes, and they are blown away with how good they are. I have done mud and dirt and rocks and they are excellent on all, a few minor cuts on the tread face but I am surprised that I have not ripped off any of the tread lugs with the hard time I gave them last time I went out.

I ended up going down to collect them from the guy in Melbourne and he did them for $720

Hey equipt, just wanted to quiz you a little as I think I'm about to follow in your footsteps,I'm looking at a set of the traction track. I was wondering do you run them all the time or do you have another set or around town, Did you get any info on wall thickness? I am on a strict budget and you sound really happy with them.
