    Nah pressure was always 25 ish... It just felt like they were hard compound. Plastic type hard. You know how good they are at making things out of steel that isn't steel kinda thing ?

    [QUOTE=timattalon;616080]I was filling the tyres on my push bike on the way to work one day and waited for a guy to pump up the big droney mud tyres tyres on his sparkling clean 4wd (Prado or Pajero


    Hahahaha what a cock sucker , it would handle like a bag of dicks and smash the shit out of the crown of the tyre....old mate must have read the sidewall where it says a max of 65 odd psi and took that as gospel as to what he should be running , amazes me how many people do that and ALOT of them are blokes.
    Bet he's also one of those fellas that only drives on the odd bit of gravel so he thinks he needs muds!
    Bet you rode away having the last laugh

    well mine has muds cause it came with them it was either replace 2 muds with muds or buy 4 ATs. 2 muds was the cheaper option
    The Appleby riverbed track is about as off road as it gets for me

    no not even twice, if you where close by you could take the pajero for a cane and try the tyres out, I push them hard though the corners and have no worries about them, at that price what have you got to lose you will be converted, check out their load rating pretty high compared to others.

    Didn't see him crash but it probably feels like its on skates....

    Dont judge a book by its cover..That cyclist will likely have a car or three at home..and in my case a motorbike as well..
