    Do you mean the Extreme Trekker or the road/muddie 7.50R16 version? I run the Jungle Trekker 2 and they are simply awsome offroad.

    Check out the following link for my favourite off road tyre. The custom extra grip. It's made by several manufacturers, though the site is a goodyear one.
    It climbs out of ruts with claw-like grip [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]
    It's angles grooves spit out mud and don't get clogged [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

    Used by conservation department in Vic and seen on some military Land Rovers.

    Costs vary from $150 - $220 depending on ply rating and competition. Shop around and talk the price down. Never pay retail for tyres. :wink:

    $298+fitting in Sydney. I think Vic is cheaper though and I would assume SA is similar to Syd.

    Had a look at both tyres and no manufacturer comes out of the closet with down sides of their product which makes an informed selection difficult. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]

    By the look of the treads would be expected they're unbelievably noisy when worn in a bit for those of us without insulation.

    Tyre life 40,000km ? :?
