Says the man with Toyo/Nissian running gear..

Well the 35's have sold and gone.....

Grimace, are you still interested in the 15" wheels?

If not will be selling those too.

looked at some Krawlers this morning, and they werent in good enough condition, and were expensive, along with overly wide.....

Man if I do go for 37's it's going to mean I have to do some serious upgrades!! Shhh dont tell Sam

The terrain Pete is looking to attempt will be putting a lot of stress into both axle assemblies, not to mention the added grip of the stickies.

Lets get tech!

I have some concerns about the added traction the stickies will provide, and it is something to take into great consideration, I am talking to you now pete so listen up .

The stickies by all reports are goin to ad upto 50% more load to your drivetrain when on high traction surfaces (like the rock at ormeau), I do think they are goin to be sooo cool, but we gonna have to be very careful when binding up on rocks (granted 90% of ormeau wont bind up the drivetrain at all).

Now this may sound like a joke but seriously, they are gonna grip like **** to a blanket (possibly even better). It's going to take a bit of coaching to keep stuff from going bang.

I think the rover CW&P will be your biggest worry, as I know your goin to have upgraded axles and CVs allround.
I didn't want to mention this yesterday cause its just too orsum to even worry about.
But I did think about it a touch more last night, while I lay in bed wide awake over the excitement of maxxis stickies, that maybe you should consider and factor possible crown wheel explosions into the near future (just incase).

p.s. If you get Sticky creepies I'll get sticky Treps. We can play swaps

IMHO 37s are beyond Rover gear and their derivatives perhaps with the exception of a Salisbury with more than 1.24 axles. My 37's are a LOOOOOT bigger and a LOOOOOT heavier than my 34/35's.

then throw stickies into the equation.

Looked at some 37x13.5 Maxxis Mudzilla's today, caught my eye sitting on top of a brand new set of 35x11.5 pedes. No one spoke english but i am sure i could fit them in my carry on baggage Just need to find some economical freight and a few things will be coming back over Everytime i see something jacked up with expendition stickers all over it i just want to hit the jungle.......maybe Monday But in an Isuzu Dmax

You better get sorted before Coffs Pete

He cant get the 37's in a Sticky. Only the 40's or the Trepps so will have to be the normal compound.

Got a good price tho

Is this not them from 4H?
Maxxis Creepy Crawler 4WD Mud Tyres 37x12.5-16 Sticky

Or am I off base in what you were looking for?

Hi mate,

Yes that would seem to be them.

they definetely used to be available in a sticky as I believe Griamce was offered the option, but Brett phoned Maxxis I think when I was there and they said that they werent available in a sticky anymore.

Wonder if they may be old stock?

I am hopefully going to see a almost new set of 35" Krawlers tommorow, as I do have concerns with running 37's

I am not sure I will be at Coffs.

Only 50% at the moment

I think the BFG Krawlers are just about impossible to get new these days also.
