simex Extreme Treker Tyres?

[noogie]

Hi all
Your opinions please.

I'm in the process if assessing my next set of 35" MT's.
Are the simex Extreme trekker too aggressive a tread for a defender drive line. I have front and rear lockers hd axles and cvs.

I know they are rubbish on the black top but only want to use them on local tracks.
There's a set of second hand 34s with 90% tread on them going cheap on ebay atm.

Our should I save my pennies and get a set of 35s as I'm currently running 255 85 16 km2s.
.
The cars got the lift needed.

Thanks
Mick

At 34" are they Extreme Trekkers or Jungle Trekkers?

Your driveline will handle those tyres unless you go stupid with them.

As said the defender will handle it if you don't good mad

I had them on a 200tdi defender. They are aggressive and can take a lot of lead to balance them so can be interesting on the motorway. Also may need to fit a big amp to your stereo so you can hear it with them on. They like to Hum a bit :-)

Just no bouncing the front wheels in full revs as that will blow cv's and remember when deflated they really grip and if you are heavy on the right foot then you will eat shafts for breakfast.

I would advise for peace of mind some Heavy duty shafts if you like to play, and if you are fitting Simex extreme Trekkers I take it your are.

They are actually super swampers but look exactly like extreme trekkers.

Yeah I will.
I'll just get a new set of 35s I reckon.
No point getting the 34s if I'm already on 33s.

I've been researching the forums and the Federal Couragia MT are getting very good reports and at around $270 for a 35 inch tyre they make good sense.

I know the simex's are awesome on the tracks, but the way they ride on the black top puts me off them.

Let me know how ya go with yours.

No worries mate seems good prices you got there too

check out the military F/Cs section on tyres.
I have been running 36 inch simex on my 101 landrover which is double locked too.
They are extremely noisey on road and do take a bit of weight to balance, but I have have no problems with balance.
I find they flat spot easy if parked up for a while and take about 3 kms to warm up and get round again.
Off road wise they are brillant.
Drop the pressures and the side biters tuck under the tyre and give superb grip.
The wear rate has been good.
The tyre has good side wall flex.
It is a off road tyre.......on road is too noisey.
