Default Mud Tyre & Wheel Hire??????????

Would anyone be interested in the hire of these .

Couple of questions first.

1--What would be a reasonable price for this so as you can play dirty??
2 -- What vehicles would be interested in this offer??
3 -- What sizes am I looking at??

The only condition of hire would be
Wreck em and you pay for it

This is a serious offer to all the guys out there, feedback please!!!!

How would you cover yourself against some brainiac hurting themselves and suing you for their stupidity? I know you can get people to sign disclaimers but from what I've read lately if you have a good enough lawyer a waiver doesn't mean anything, it still end up being your financial responsibility for someone else's stupidity (and lack of reason to be allowed to breed).

And where is the dividing line between using them according to any definition of "fit for purpose" and "wreaking" them, all food for thought Jack, would hate to see someone else I know get taken for a ride...

Keep the negatives coming guys, I need that, or I might just do it.

Brian we've met so you know me sort of, if its there to be done I'll do it.

Same as the quarry, I'll get up there once the roll cage is fitted!!!!!!

I just want to know how you are going to stop the moron brigade from hiring them and hurting themselves? Or does that come under the heading of "sorry you wreaked them (and your truck, and yourself but thats beside the point) so you don't get your deposit etc back"?

There will always be people that don't bring them back as well.Also i think you would need more then one place to pick up and drop off so people can go for a good days drive and not have to stick in the same place.But then how would they get there own wheels back.Maybe have a set time that they have to pick up by and a set time in the arvo at a diff spot to drop off.then you could drive their wheels to that spot to be picked up..If ya know what im getting at mate...
