Howdy fella, I've moved this to the 4x4 section, where you'll get a quicker reponse.

Just ordered a set of these. Eurotred is the wholesaler. About $130 fr and $140bk.
Don't think there is a tyre on the market that will handle paddock work. We seem to always stake tyres no matter what the breed
Edit: Very unfortunate product name

Try Austraco they have 8 ply tires, they would about the best tires that I can think of, I run 6 ply for my bush work and so far all good, but my next tires will be the 8 ply,

Welcome to the forum rockwood.
What I would try with your tyre problem......
Put on a 8ply tire with a tread pattern that suits your conditions and throw a couple of litres of the mititary goo in them.
That'll seal most holes you'll pick up from box thorns and the like.
And maybe forsake some ride comfort and up the tyre pressures to probably double the reccomended.
Those Carlyle tyres are pretty soft skinned.......

Grizzly are they smooth to ride on, Mine ride from lug to lug they are so big sometimes you feel like you are waddling down the track, grate traction but not that smooth.

Hey rockwood, I run Maxxis Big Horn's on my Outty 800 and have never had a problerm  Oh by the way I forgot to add that if you do run Big Horn's, You'll have to drop your rear tyre size down to a 25 inch hoop.

It's a extra heavy duty liquid tyre sealant.
Try someone like Bearcat Tyres or any ndustrial tyre supplier.....
It cost me about $50 a US gallon back then.
I stopped running skiddies about 5 years ago, but the green stuff I was using was very effective. I'd take the valve out, inject the gunk, put the valve back in and pump the tyres back up.
Demo and site clearance work is very hard on tyres, but I did well over a 1000 hrs of it with no problems on a set of tyres.
