Silverstone extreme or simex extreme trekker
What are peoples thoughts on these and which would you choose. Size is 33x10.5x15
i have some 31" silverstone extremes and they seem pretty decent. They seem to be really grippy on rock and have no problems in mud, they also dont seem to be showing many signs on wear after 5000kms. I can't make a comment about the simex because i have never used them but my friends have and they reckon they are a great tyre.
X2 except I have the 32x9.5 that measure 32.5 overall hieght. Most of the time they are at 5-6 psi without beadlocks and have only once come off the rim, when I hit a rut at speed.alien wrote:i'd go with the originals... the simex... and i did =) except in 31x10.5r15.. they measure closer to 32 though.

what sucks abouts what silverstone did though - is that technically for engineering a vehicle you have to run the sized stated on the modification papers... now, if you were engineered to run 33's, but had to buy 35" silverstones to measure 33, legally, its a 35" tyre, cos thats what it says on the sidewall...
flip side though - you could buy the undersized tyres to get a larger size engineered - however if they ever measured your height again after you changed rubber you'd also be boned.

You fit them easy. plenty of spring under cars with under 2" lift plus 2" body running 34 inch tyres.mcwilly wrote:Sizes have been redone new silverstone is 32.7 for 33 or 34.7 for 35. Not sure if I'd fit a true 34.7 with spoa and 2" body

How big is the grinding disc they used to fit 34's on a zuk with only a spua 4'' lift?dank wrote:You fit them easy. plenty of spring under cars with under 2" lift plus 2" body running 34 inch tyres.
I have spoa and 2" rockcrawler springs (about 6.5" total lift) running simex 32" pedes and i get a bit of rubber on gaurd action.
I've got just over 4 inches spring and shackle lift, sprung under and am running the 32" pedes with no rubbing what so ever. Front diff is almost 4 inches forward rear diff is 1 inch back and bumpstops are extended a few inches. Guards are cut around 1.5 inches.ZookiDave wrote:How big is the grinding disc they used to fit 34's on a zuk with only a spua 4'' lift?dank wrote:You fit them easy. plenty of spring under cars with under 2" lift plus 2" body running 34 inch tyres.

I run the simex's and I find them better on rock than all the radials I've had in the past. I think the silverstones are a bit grippier due to softer rubber but they wear alot faster. I daily drive my zook so that's why I went for the simex with the hard compound rubber.

Baring in mind my diffs are 4 inches forward obviously I have cut more then you could get away with on a road vehicle, but a 1-2 inch cut should suffice, all I did was the dodgy 50 odd cuts, a big hammer and pop rivet the cut pieces back together. The first pic is about an inch off the bumpstops, the second pic is how they stand now.hooki wrote:i'm looking at chopping my gaurds....do you have any pictures VR Rodeo??'

They work well enough on rock for me.PJ.zook wrote:I ran simex, good tyre, but truly shithouse grip on rocks n shale.

Bit of an update I decided to go with the silverstones in a 33x10.5. This is where the fun began. They actually measure 34.5" diameter and close to 11" wide. This making then a fair chunk larger then the 32.7 I was expecting. Diff is forward an inch spoa and body lift and approx 2" bump stops. They only hit on the front near light bucket and near fire wall and flares. So I decided to get the big hammer out and after 2 days it's almost clering the guards. Next thing to look at is my superior drop shackles for rear and ruf. Longer shocks and hoops. So a spoa on pretty much 35s and body lift not bad for a daily driver LOL
I've done some bumpstop extension and guard bashing and minor cutting to areas where it rubs.ZookiDave wrote:How big is the grinding disc they used to fit 34's on a zuk with only a spua 4'' lift?dank wrote:You fit them easy. plenty of spring under cars with under 2" lift plus 2" body running 34 inch tyres.

it only has about 2 inchs of uptravel before it hits the bumps in the front and the diff is around 2 inch forward of stock
