Jinglun LT255/85R16 opinions

Does anyone know these tires?

They're VERY cheap here, and I'm tempted just by the price.

Simex?

Cheap usually for a reason. Can you get Michelin XZL in Chile? Its impossible in Canada, unless used from a surplus place.

BB,

Simex? I wish... Simex tires double most major brands in price down here. The brand I'm talking about is "Jinglun", they're probably chinese. Regarding the Michelin, I know you can get 9.00x16 or 7.50x16 muds but not sure about the specific model you mentioned. I'll try to find out.

Cheers,

Thanks Nick, but if I remember right they just can't get the smaller sizes. Like 9.00 R16

Simex make cheap ass aircraft tires from what I have seen. But I never knew they were the choice tires.... Interesting

IMO, Simex centipedes rock! (but they're not cheap)

Not sure, but a friend tells me that they're meant to be used with a tube. :(
