MUDZILLAS 35x13.5 ANYONE USED EM????????

Post by whythef@#!not »

gday fellas,

was down cruiser on the weekend and seen these tyres, looked the part and like the idea of the 13.5 wide as ive got 10" rims.

But as the name says are they really suited just for mud or suitable for other applications too?????

Im mainly doin stuff like at landcruiser hills, dirt and rocks and a bit of beach, try to avoid mud if i can, would you rate these tyres or better putting my money into another tyre??????

cheers

I had a set of 33x13.5 (pretty sure they were 13.5) on my MK wagon, and didn't like them. Very noisy, compound was a little on the hard side, and i personally didn't think they had big/wide enough linear grooves on the tread blocks.

Nice side-biters though....

what car did you see these tyres on out cruiser park? i was there on the weekend and i have 35x13.5 mudzilla on 16X10 rims on my shorty partol. i havnt had any troubles with them as yet and they grip well on rocks and loose stuff cause they are a pretty soft compound rubber.
havnt tried them out in the mud yet but im very happy with how they have proformed so far.

i paid $340 a tyre fitted and balanced

ive got a set of a fj45 landcruiser and love them tho ive gone from 31" muddies so really ive got nothing to compare them against

mine are on a 8" wide rim not really suitable just means the centers will wear quite quickly its not my daily driver so i never swap tyres

noisy WHAT yep incredibly noisy on road

Had a set of 35 mudzilla on 10in rims hook up ok for hills hung on rims well at low pressure.On road they were only on the road when they were crossing it and just dangerous in the wet on blacktop.like old mate said they seem very hard.If you arn`t doing big ks should be ok mate just thaught i`d tell you about the wet road thing.Did i mention they were slippery on wet tarmac?

no bead problems running em on 15psi, not to fussed about the noise will be a everyday tyre but only drive it to work and back. pretty keen to get a set just worried about the life i will get out of em, gonna try and compare to similar tyres for wear, been looking at trepadores too.

I had a set on my work truck and hated them. They wore out quicker then any other tyre ive ever had, noisier and worse on road then swampers or simex's. It used to lock the front wheels up in the wet. Worst tyre ive had.

Silverstone make a Simex copy don't they? Are they reasonably priced? Good lookin tread pattern i thought.

i have had both, personally i thought the maxxis gripped better, and handled slightly better on road, it seems to be slightly softer then the micky tyre, how ever my next set will probably be 36" jt2's i quite like them

Im running the 33's and have had them on for about 2 weeks now. No problems in the wet at all, but then again i dont drive my 4wd like a racecar. Havnt done any major offroad yet except mud which they seem to handle easily. Fairly noisy but that doesnt worry me.
