Simex JT II

Post by roverrat »

Peoples

Has anyone out there had experience with Simex Jungle Trekker II I had the series I, but found them pretty shitty offroad (I run 2 sets of tyres)

Kinda liked the Goodyear custom Xtra Grips better.

However looking for feedback on theses Korean tyres.

I run 34x11.5x16 JT2s on the 80 and find them a very good off road tyre. They were chosen for the size rather than pattern as prefer Centrepeedes but they were taller and skinner back then but now they have more sizes available and will be the next ones. As an on road option they (JT2s) aren't as bad as others but would't use them everyday.
80 series, Locked both ends, Q78ed & a massive 57 k/w to boot!!!!

Hmmmmm havent seen Goodyear Custom Extra Grips around for a few years and then in mostly 7.50/16's. And Simex tyres are made in Malaysia and not Korea and are much supperior to the Korean tyres such as Hankook etc......IMHO of course :roll:

I like them. I have set of 34's on my runner. 83lux and Area54 run them as well. Think more would if they came in a bigger size.

I find them really good offroad. Smooth rock will trick them, and on that surface they are no better than a muddie, but everywhere else they are awsome.

On road with a bit of suspension tweaking I found them to be not to bad. The flat spots after being parked are bloody annoying though. Definately not radial performance.

In comparison to the Centipede they are a lot more stable on the road, and probably little less off road.
