indubitably
Re: simex extream trekker imitations
Just bought a set 285-75-16 (33"). Get delivered today. I've had 35" Silverstone X-treme and 32" and 35" Simex Centipedes and Swamper LTB 34" so I'll let you know how they compare. The guy selling them has just ordered another container load so no stock for about 6 weeks. I'll post some pici's when they arrive.

Re: simex extream trekker imitations
biggest noticable difference is that theyre a radial...
the other company that copies simex does it with a remould too -

nothing on this site says that though.

Re: simex extream trekker imitations
Will be following this, as I'm keen to see how they go myself. Seem to be getting great reviews overseas, and they have just released a 33x12.5 r15 as well.
Re: simex extream trekker imitations

Re: simex extream trekker imitations
No, they're recaps, there is a significant difference.

Re: simex extream trekker imitations
any comparos to the known brands of simex and silverstone?
also, do they have a DOT stamp?

So they are basically the same as the old Motorway Mongrels?
Re: simex extream trekker imitations
HI Guys,
I used these on a recent trip to the Vic High Country (Cup weekend). I'm very happy with them. In comparison to Simex ET's and Silverstone X-treme they perform just as well. They seem a bit quieter on the highway, but is probably more because my 100 series has better cabin noise suppression than my old Disco. I am by no means a 'hard core' aggressive driver so I didn't test them on rock faces and megga bog holes. It was a very wet weekend and they did a great job. I ran them at 25psi (cold) but found this a bit firm during the day so the next day I dropped them to 20psi (cold) and they felt a lot better. They bagged out reasonably well. Someone mentioned that being a remould they may actually have slightly more rubber on the sidewall making them a bit stiffer. They 'tram track' a bit like all of these 'huge side lug' tyres. You have to get used to 'letting the tyres steer' a bit otherwise you are fighting the track. More a case of relax and let the tyres do the work. I'd say for my needs they are perfect. Especially when they only cost $275. They balanced easily and were centred/round so no massive shaking or wobbles while on the highway.
285/75R16
They are DOT-R-CHXL9
122/119N
Radial Tubeless Directional
Tread 2 steel Cord and 2 Polyester Cord
Sidewall 2 Polyester Cord
Made In Spain
Max Load 1600kg @ 65psi
Hope this helps

Re: simex extream trekker imitations
Geez, did they but a mould from Simex, they look identical in tread pattern to me.
Re: simex extream trekker imitations
not identical - they dont have bridges between the center lugs half way up the tread depth for stability.

Is that what they are? I thought it was the (awfully tall) wear indicators. Ripper, my ETs are still legal...sort of.

surely not a recap!
mmmm SAUSAGE
Re: simex extream trekker imitations
Recap/remould I thought were the same thing , sorry could have the name wrong. But anyway they are not a retread, that is what you definitely want to stay away from.

Re: simex extream trekker imitations
yeah retreads are those anoying black bits you see on malor highways that exit due to truck retreads,there a cheap cheap option for transport companys!nasty,nasty!BadMav wrote:Recap/remould I thought were the same thing , sorry could have the name wrong.

remoulds arnt that much better!
offroad there a good thing,price according?
mmmm SAUSAGE
Re: simex extream trekker imitations
nar the wear indicators are further down again on the simex - most people re-groove the bridges once the tyre is at 50%... gives it an extra few months life =)BadMav wrote:alien wrote:not identical - they dont have bridges between the center lugs half way up the tread depth for stability.

retreads/remoulds dont contain and steel belts as many of the chunks of debris on the side of the highways usually do. yes retreads do fail im not debating that but 'cleanskins' fail as well and usually because of under inflation or a puncture etc.
i ran motorway mongrels on my zook a few days back without any issues. i also ran some cheap retread bfg muddies knockoffs on the road a fair bit again without any issues. possibly due to the light weight of the zook but ive got nothing against them for weekend/offroad tyres on larger 4x4's.
Re: simex extream trekker imitations
remolds are awesome, this one has 7psi in it.

Re: simex extream trekker imitations
The lugs in between the tread of the simex are rock ejectors so rocks don't get stuck in your tread.
I'm not quitting drinking, I'm retiring at the top of my game - sporting comeback likely.

if thats the case, they dont work =) haha
