ring james at the discount tyre shop in tremaine ave palmy, they direct import allsorts from all over the planet(by the shipping container). and usually have uneven sets/amounts of tyres to suit anything from mini's to big rigs.

I know a bloke who has 4 for sale, if you were interested in buying 2 I could be keen on the other 2.
He will not break the set and he lives near Cambridge.

They are now running the Mickey T's Baja Claws and the Federal Couragia's now as General Grabbers and the Kumho 833 tires were stopped being produced.

Both of those tires are fairly hard to find now and you would only be able to buy them 2nd hand off someone.

Federals are far cheaper than Mickey T's.

Also they're aren't directional which is a bonus, when the edges get warn on one side just turn them around :D

If its only a spare then buy a federal or something that you will probably be thinking of buying in future or better still, buy a set and use one for a spare then when the grabbers are shot you convert one of them to a spare and put your 4 hardened tyres on ;-)
