As far as i have heard it is a no no , u do not get them balanced(might be because they are re molded) . I could be wrong but this is what i have heard.I must say that they look pretty mean.

I got the Pitbulls (30") on my SJ410 and the Broncos (31") on my Drifter 2.5D and I havnt had any problems with them.

I find that initially the rubber is still very soft (maybe not left too cure for long enough) so if possible, buy them and let them lie in the garage for a while before putting them on.

Then again for the aggressive MT pattern and for the price:
Pitbull: +- R650 each, Broncos: +- R800 each
You can afford to change them more frequently, most of the comparable tires price over 2K each.

I am not a fan of remoulded, regrooved or retreaded tyres, but for a SJ I would consider them - not like you are going to exceed the speed rating of the tyre!
