How big do these tyres measure?

33.6 i think could be wrong

Post by **Gwagensteve** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 9:10 pm

sounds right.

These will be a better all round tyre then the 9/34, but on slick mud the higher ground pressure of the 9/34 is an advantage.

looks like you have a fair bit of room left to go up to the 35s

i have 35" simex super swampers with spring over and 2"lift, standard axles air locker front and rear never busted a thing the only problem i have had is tranny case mounts bigger is better.

Petesarmy,

simex are made by simex in malaysia, and super swampers are made by Interco in the US (or china for the LTB's) They're a different tyre.

I think you mean simex centipedes. (?)

sounds very similar to my setup. u chop the guards at all?

yea mate. theres room for 35's however if anything i would go down to a 32 or 33. I think 34" tyres on a extream SWB and fairly tall car is a little dangerous. Also i think a zook on 32's will be just as capable as one on 34"s. But they do look mint. lol.

its all about diif clearance
and going from 32's to 34's will give you an extra inch of clearance before you come to a stop with you wheels off the ground.
where I wheel its not uncommon to see a patrol on 36,s sitting there with the wheels in the air due to the depth of the ruts.

Thats true, however a sierra still has good diff clearance on 32's. but ofcourse an extra inch cant hurt. the only times ive been stuck are when i got hung up on my diffs, and thats on 34's. I heard a sierra on 34's has approx the same diff clearance as a patrol on 36-37's.

But honestly, apart from mexicans, who gives a toss about driving in ruts.

My sierra on 32's has better diff clearance than a cruiser on 36's

If you are really unsure about what size u can fit see if you are able to borrow some and try them

Well my Simex pede's served me well on the weekend, 1st place Modified class in Mud Guts and Glory Rocks '09. They are the 32x9.5r15's let down to 6psi in the front and 5 in the back, without beadlocks and we didn't break a bead all weekend and are still holding pressure the following day. They easily got grip and took a fair hammering.

I was planning on buying some 34 inch LTB's but I'm not so sure whether to change or not now

thats got about the same clearance as mine - and no, 34's wont fit unless you lift the guards up... it will fit under the arch, but any kind of upward travel will see them scrubbing to bits.

ive been running 31" cooper STTs which have been a brilliant tyre - however due to their clogging up in mud i've now gone the other extreme and chosen simex pedes in a 31" (measure 32")... they should arrive tomorrow and hopefully i can have a good crack at them on the weekend!

Its a comp truck, I will make them fit

I wanted to go up to a 34, just not sure whether to get rid of a tyre that has worked well for me for LTB's or not.
