WTB: 2x warrantable Goodyear Wrangler MTR 31/10.5R15

My brother is looking for a couple of old Wrangler MTRs in any warrantable state. Just needs to get a WOF so he can sell his truck. Anybody have any old ones floating around? 31/10.5R15

Failing that, what about a full set of worn ATs or MTRs for cheap?

Cheers,
Mark

I'll bring it to Mike's attention in the next couple of days. I'm sure he can arrange something.

OK, that's enough thread jacking. I really do not want to get into 'moderator mode' again. I have better things to do.

Stuffed brakes

So... I took the Whale ('94 Safari LWB) in to get a WOF after sitting around with stuffed brakes for a few months and they failed it on the effectiveness of the brakes. They reckon they are only working at 38% and the brake pedal is a bit spongy. It will lock up one of the rear wheels when you jump ...

Reasonably good in terms of power, but not efficient at all. I wouldn't own one as a daily driver that's for sure. I get about 300-350kms out of a tank, which is about $120/130 to fill at the mo (never worked out what it is in litres :oops: ) In terms of power, I lined mine up with PR's TD42 turbo o...
