creepy crawley questions

hi guys
a couple of questions about creepys
Ive heard they measure under size, could someone that has a set of 15X35's give me a measurement (excluding the crowned center)
and how do you find them in real mud (vic slop)
I can see them being great on all terrains except maybe mud
cheers

Yep i think they are crap in the smaller sizes
the bighorns or km2's kill them in 31's or under.
the tead is too closed and they clog badly in the clay, they are a great road going muddy however.

Re: Swamper TSL vs. Trepador

these two are also total opposites
the swamper is a bais ply and the trep is radial in that size.

imo you cant even compare the two for performance in that size as the treps are almost a road tyre in the smaller radials
