Here is a PM from Maxtd5def about simex which sums it all up very well

They are a daily driver 50% of the time, if I'm not likely to have a run for a couple of weeks I change 'em and put radials back on.
As a daily driver, they steer just fine. And wet weather grip isn't too bad either. They are more sensative to pressures than radials, below 25 or so on-road you can feel the sidewalls distorting before it takes a set to go around corners.
Freeway speeds again they steer and track very well.
At traffic lights, really low speeds, you can feel every lug hit the ground. Its just something to get used to. its like clutch juddder, but not as bad.
Disadvantages on road -
They do flat spot every night. It takes a few miles before they warm up. For me, its half way to work. The flat spots seem to be tyre temperature related. If the last trip the night before was just up to a takeway, no probs. But if the night before was the F3 coming home from the Watagans, big flat spots on Mon morning. (I live one block from where the F3 terminates)
And the noise. You gotta hear it to believe it. You can live with it around town, but it gives me a headache on the freeway.
Wet roads, dirt roads, they still howl.
A few of us in the LROC have got ETs, they are a great tyre. But you can tell whose on the UHF before they speak - the noise comes through the UHF. Or, if one of the guys overtakes on the freeway, you'll hear him before he's in your mirrors. They are that bad.
So all the jokes about low flying Cessnas are true.
But its worth it. I couldn't believe the improvement in grip over MTRs. And I thought they were good. So far I've found them to be a great rockhopper too, this is one area they aren't supposed to be as good.
They just seem to walk over everything, no smash & bash needed.
I got some 32" mongeral's that are awesom off road, and not too bad on road now they are a bit scuffed, they were real interesting in the wet when they were brand new... but these are real loud on tar.
I drive at 8-10 psi offroad for trraction and 20-22psi on road for best comfort and most uniform tyre wear.
SWEET. Lookin realy good Heath, Give me a yell when the body lift is on, and i give ya an hand. I even bring the grinder so we can make them realy fit Layto....

You will have to come over Shane’s house some time and play on the rock’s. You will soon see how good your simex’s compare to the mtr’s. Shane has a set of 35 simex and a set of 37 mtr’s and the simex act like ice skates in comparison, but in saying that it’s totally the opposite in the mud. So I think it all depends what you’re driving on.
