38.5's are supposed to be arriving june/july
I am running 37x14.5's on 8" beadlox [so probably equals a 9"] and they tend to steer uphill on sunken road surfaces but not real bad ... certainly drive better than the swampers.
have only done two trips to cruiser park and two runs in the All terrain Challenge where i bent a rim and popped a bead but in a straight line i couldn't tell it was flat as i hit the double jump hard and the rim didn't touch the logs on the edge of the jump up ... cornering was a bit of a concern though
have had a limited time with them but so far they are at least as good as the swampers.

phew i just fitted 35 x 12.5 15's and yes they do take some getting used to on the road ,that is why i will be only using these off road.GUEEY wrote:Take it from me, the Creepy Crawler is a Arsome Tyre, but i am also trying to help people not make the mistakes i made which at the time cost me a lot of $$$. I choose the Creepy at the time when no one else i new had them. and the distributer, new to the tyre and had no idea of the problems on 8 inch rims.Dirtjeep wrote:Ive got secondairs on my 8" rims and want to use these for offroad only if possible. I know a guy whos got 35's (KK's) on 8's . Havent spoke to him yet, but all seems ok , from what ive heard.
For years and years we have been fitting 35x12.5 inch radials and bais tyres to 8 inch rims, and due to the supple side walls they fit OK.
But the Creepy Crawler in 35 has the toughest sidewall of any tyre i have owned or seen. Even the USA write up talks about them fitted to Military Hummers and being able to take a bullet from 500 yards and still drive out of the Danger Zone!
Now due to this sidewall construction the 35x 12.5 inch tyre fitted to a 8 inch rim the outer edge of the Tread is pulled outward and heaverly crowns the centre of the tyre, making road manners to you destination quite bad.
Now fitted to the recomended 10 inch rim keeps the tread flat on the road and sidewall square to the edge of the tread.
But for those of you who dont care at all for road manners at leagal speeds go for your life and fit to 8 inch rims and never look back!
Loved my Creepys for short Day Trips but went for Radial Claws for further weekend trips.
Cheers Grant.
THE GRASS MAY BE GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE BUT YOU STILL GOTTA MOW IT.
