Has anyone here used these tires and if so what was your take on them?

I have them, They are easy to install by yourself with a set of tire Irons a big plus in my book. I drive mostly dirt roads and country B roads (paved) with my Model A and they work great! very happy Coker. However, keep in mind these are Imported tires.
 
I have a friend who had a set of those on his car when we drove to the last National Rally. If he hit even a mild bump in the road, he had a flat. The explanation by the supplier was that they don't fit the rim properly, leaving a pinch gap under the bead (21 inch wheels). Hit a bump and the tube was pinched and that is exactly where he found the holes.
That said, there are others who have not had that problem by inflating the tyres to well above the recommended maximum. Hmmmm.
 
I bought 5 of these in 21" but when I started to mount them I didn't like the looks compared to the Universal tires I was replacing. I returned them and bought Universals instead. Also the Universal is a little larger even though they both are 450/475-21.
These were for my 28 pickup and I think they look much better.
