The picture has the wrong proportions to be 35/10.5-15, looks more like a 34/15.5-15.

They are Dot rated, so both road legal and comp legal. They are a bia's ply, not a radial

Me Ben and Wayne were drooling over them at the weekend
I would definatly give them a shot at that price if i didn't already have a brand new set of Silverstone MT117's.
I reckon they would go very well for what they cost!!!!

I drive past where they are selling them every day on the way home so will call in and see what the real deal is on them.
Nissan Terrano coilovers, turboed VH45, Safari axles, and some other stuff.

If the tyres are in Auckland I can ship to Christchurch for $110 a cube, as long as they don't weight more than 50kg each (Simex and Silverstone are 35kg each)

I looked into these tyres myself ,the biggest problem for me was they only measure 32.5 inches tall eventhough they are called a 35 " just couldnt afford to loose that much in diff clearance,(its a nissan thing) .Steve

Its a pity they call them 35s cause my truck is certed/registered for 33s and speedo would read right with them on - but the insurance company not paying out is a risk I wouldn't take.
They look a bit stiff in the sidewalls (not much bagging). Maybe that's just for a zuk. But yes a good price for a nice aggressive tire.
