I had six of those T90 tires for €65.- from an online auction house here in Nederland who sell a lot of surplus army stuff.
Four of Uniroyals were nearly new, two Continentals were only 9 mm profile.
They are very good in mud and on rocks, the only drawback i can find is that you need earplugs if you drive on the road.(been to Norway and back.)

No, he offered them on "Marktplaats.nl" , wich translates as marketplace.
So I rang him to ask for details. This is all I know.
But to have a look,

it's a two and a half hour drive one way.

Don't be tight,buy some new BFG MT's you know it makes sense
Be careful fitting odd worn tyres as you could screw your transmission

I use the T90's to save my BFG's from sharp rocks and the likes
Shredding one of those doesn't hurt so much.
Transmission problems occur only if you drive around with different thread depths front and back.
That's why you have to swap wheels on a regular base.

I'm selling these tyres, 6 of them, all with appx 10 mm profile left on them. In very good condition. 200 for the six. Perfect for the mud. Too noisy for me on the road.
