I ran a set of 35" centrepedes on road for a little while and they were bloody horrible, shook the hell out of my truck and wore badly (uneven) that said they were great in mud etc, but if you are looking to run these tyres as daily tyres in rocky expect to be defected.............

In my opinion small amounts of road time on simex is ok as far as wear goes but even a week of constant road use and you can see how the tread blocks are starting to feather edges etc.

$2000 for 5 beadlocked rims with 36's fitted is ok for this part of the world.

They are an awsome tyre in Mud, not so ggod on Rock though.

Mine would drive up near on anything muddy, just don't expect them to work elswhere though :D

$2000 is an awsome price for 5, let alone on Beadlocks :shock:

Sorry for the hijack, what are you guys running yours at on road? I run my 36's everyday on road, yeah I shouldn't, (plus in Qld 31's are illegal on a maverick, so what the hey), but anyway I'm running about 28 PSI ATM. Yes they have a slight wobble at 60kph and a bit worse on a cold morning but I only do about 5000k's a year. They are a ripper tyre off road in anything I've chucked at them. Mud, rock, dirt and for a rag tyre they handle a bit of cornering alright too.

That's a ripper bargain mate, don't pass em up, if you do, give me the number!!!!!
Don't take life too seriously...it isn't permanent.
