    i have had a set of these on my disco now for about 5 months and have not been bogged yet they are awesome mud tyresi pait 270each fitted and ballanced for mine all up 1500 for the 4 with rims
    they wear pretty quick on road and are dangerouse on gravel till ya get used to them then they are fun
    especially with part time conversion.

    How do these compare to the Simex ET?
    Mmmm, Down want to be a downer, but, they measure 1" smaller and 1" narrower than the equivelant Simex, they are way worse on ALL high speed stuff and well....................I sold mine and put Simexs back on

    Oh Matt... You always spoil the fun!!

    1" narrower is fine by me. I actually wanted 10.5's but they arent available apparently anymore. The 1" undersize height is a bit of a shame but I will give them a try.

    I did price Simex's but there were only 4 in the country at the time and they are aout $120 dollars each more expensive.

    For that money I would probably have gone for Krawlers!

    Pete.

    Um, the law?

    Is there any way to legally run 35" tyres in Qld?

    I dont really intend to use them on the road. I have a set of MT's for everyday use.

    Cheers

    Your right, thats the difference in the tyres themselves, but it costs $400 for that improvement, so not like there isn;t an upside

    No but thats why I live in Tweed Heads and run 35'' tepador
    radials. The engineer has said no problems with the brake upgrade and the speedo correction All is good.
