animal Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Im after some tyres 35x10.50x16 now I have looked around and found the following Silverstone et 35x10.50x16 = 33" fedima = 36.5" to Big insa turbo special track 33.5" Simex £££ Maxxis mudzilla 35x13.50x16 now my mate says that these are to wide and will not dig plus my 200tdi (tweaked) will now be powerful enough when aired down to go up the steep climbs etc. Has anybody used maxxis in anger? Thanks Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I have a set of 33x13.50-15 and I think they dig and climb pretty well I rarely use them because they are 'kin awful on the road, but that's a separate issue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animal Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 do you have to air down to get them to grip also what are they like in the sticky stuff? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I use Maxxis Creepy Crawlers (37x12.50 r16), very pleased with them. Don't air them down or anything, and done a fair few thousand road miles with them too. The sidewall tread works well. Don't see how the width would relate to your truck not being able to drive up a hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Swampers and Simex.... To the OP, better look what's actually available at the moment! I'm strugling to find any 37" Bias ply tires.. There's not much out there.. I might just be 'stuck' with 37" KM2's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 The Maxxis Mudzilla is more or less a copy of the Mickey Thompson Baja Claw (with a different center section). The Baja Claw is a great tyre, I've used them in 33" radial, 33" bias and 37" bias. When aired down, they do require some power when you hit the boggy stuff to keep the thread clear. My standard TD5 could just cope with the 37", but only just. @Toyrover, I have a set of Competition Claws for sale, 37x13x17, on Predator rims with Staun beadlocks.

BogMonster Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 No idea not in the EU I use about 20psi all the time but low road speeds. Very stiff sidewalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToyRoverlander Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Oh wait... You've got them under your land rover.. I've got toyota axles so the rims don't fit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animal Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 thanks. so what's going to be the answer are we all to run on AT WHAT is going on in this Country!!! so does this mean that we will all have to have two sets of tyres and swap over on site, if so I might as well get some dumper type tyres or will these disturb the sleeping wild life. I don't know you go to work all week pay every tax known to man and then you still can't enjoy yourself as you might make to much noise! How come druggies, thieves and the like never get hassled like normal people, its not the Taliban we need to worry about but the enemy within....

ToyRoverlander Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I know.... it's insane! If only they were marked 'off road use only' and give you a ticket if you run them on the street.... at least you could still buy them....... f*ck*ng politicians!!!!

JeffR Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I used to use Wildcats, they did what they said on the box, but you can't buy em anymore cos they're made from "dirty oil". The replacements are twice the price and wear out in half the time! Thank you politicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark-d Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 it does seam to be a bit of a problem to get mud tyres here right now but i wasn't sure why, so its the noise huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boydie Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Oh I'm so glad I migrated to Oz in 1970 !!! No such regulations here, if its got 3mm of tred its legal, I run Cooper ATT Discoverer 225/75/R16 on my Disco and they just dont let go under 90% of the conditions I drive under, the tyre pressures I use range from 32F/36R for flatish fast outback dirt roads to 20F/28R for driving on sandy beaches and 18F/26R for very rocky steel hills. Come on out and have a visit -- take in the Commonwealth Games whi;le you're at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
