They are muddies, but beautiful on tar, and are EPIC on rocks and sand from the few trails I have done. I've had them just under a year now and am not sorry at all. Reasonably priced too !!!
What size are you running, I don't see anything close to the size I'm looking for..

I'm following this closely, I need new tyres too, but will push it to December time.

Lanvigators Catchfors M/T? Anyone here used them? A customer of mine put them on his Ranger about a year ago and they look great, he says he is very happy with them but all the reviews I have seen, and there are not many, don't seem to impress.

Pricing he said was around R2400 ea from ATT

Thanks Cedric. There is a bit of a problem with stock availability at the moment. We are waiting for new shipments to come in, but this virus is playing havoc with everything at the moment. Ad soon as the new stock arrives I will let you guy's know.

R1800 for a 33x12.5" x 15 is at a giveaway price!

But I see it is a 6pr tyre. That would indicate a 2 ply sidewall. 3 ply sidewalls only normally come with a 10pr tyre.

Who here knows what 6pr, 8pr or 10pr really means?
Hulle het 6 thread, en 3 sidewall

Sorry for the crappy pictures, I just snapped them with the phone camera off the PC screen.
