Wondering if anyone has had a set of these and how the did. They rank in the dirt cheap category.

I haven't but I am running Kenda Klever MT's in 33/12.50 and I like them so far. I think they were $760 shipped on eBay.

That's a good deal and a good looking tire, but the cheap price makes me wonder about the quality. I've never heard of that brand either.
 
Australian brand, they bought the Procomp MT molds after Procomp came out with the Extreme MT2. So design wise I've had the same tires before, don't know about how they wear with the Auzy compound though.

Well Got them on yesterday. Side wall was a little stiff and they took some weight (not as square as I thought they would be for the price though), but they ride good and don't scream...yet LOL. I'm at about 40 miles on them now, I'll post back after I get a couple hundred on them.
 
So far these are fine tires on the road. Some noise but not more than I would expect from a knobby mud terrain. Will be putting them to the real test the weekend of June 5th at Uwharrie, we'll see how they do at 10psi on the trails.
 
Well, 75 on the highway these things make noise like a luggy M/T, but it IS for a reason. They did great at Uwharrie this weekend. Cleaned fast and had great traction, even at street pressure on the rocks. The weather made for high traction at Uwharrie this weekend, a little dry with a little dust. Not so dry you couldn't breath for the dust and not wet at all. Looking forward to our July 17 trip and hoping for a little rain before or during that trip to see how they do in less than great traction conditions. Still no signs of odd wear on them either. Here is a trip report for this run.
