Looking at some 31s (amongst some other brand options) but cant get much info on ply etc. Is any one using mudzilla's under there Zuk? Im mainly looking at there being enough weight too bag them

If you wana run them rex on your zook your going to have to have beadlockers and run next to no psi in them to get them to bag well......also as most people say "mudzilla's are only good in a straight line" there apparntly not that good on sidelings or rocks but awsome on clay and mud.

I looked at some 33s for my zook...i reckon i could have stood on the top of them and they wouldn't have bagged! very very rigid.

my silverstones that I've got for sale at the moment have been awesome in all offroad conditions, they have a nice compound and bag well around 6-10psi on the sierra.

The procomp x-terrains also seem like a good allrounder for the zook. My mate Mud Muncher runs them on his jimny with good results as well. A fair bit more expensive than the silverstones though.

this is a link if you are interested.

ha, silverstones were on the list, cheapest of them all, but are 38mm height difference in 31" size to simexs. Class rules are 31"max so, every bit counts (yeah yeah ask the missus :D ) but good too know bout zilla's and bagging

We ran the 33x13.5 on a mates 60 series cruiser. Took a few trips at very low pressure to soften up, but afterwards were quite good. Though if you were considering running them on a zook, then you may still have issues with stiffness.

I've heard a few of the guys running Mudzillas in Wellington are "upgrading" to Creepy Crawlies".

i ran them on my zook great tough tyre , beadlocks? hell run em at 4psi with no locks and they hold just fine , but still reluctant to bag real well , not the best rock tyre , but good for everything else and they are tough , no different than the bias micky t's on side slopes .

they are a very small 31" tyre .
if its worth doing do it intensly , better still do it with MADPASSION

have a look at maxxis trepadors i have been happy with mine, have not had a chance for much mud work yet but they look like they would be good for it.

i have the 30's but they seem to be a big 30 so that might be the case with the 31's aswell

a mate of mine is running them on his cruiser... he's running 35's that measure 33.5 or something... but the worst part is he cant get them balanced! the tyre is so wobbly, that even with 300g on the rim it wont balance out!!!
