The old mongrels were impressive tyres but the place making them went bust over 5 years ago. They are a remould rather than a retread with new rubber from bead to bead.
They are a copy of the silverstone tyre. You will never puncture one

Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them

If I had the money I would. Do remember these are a true 32 ie close to an inch bigger than other tyres. If you do a lot of sand driving though I would avoid them but in everything else you wont get much better but they will be noisy on the road and wet grip will be poor
