Tyres: Extreme Trekkers or Jungle Trekkers?

Post by gotoy »

Currently my MTs are on the last legs and reckon its time for some proper tyres.
So, which is better, Simex Extreme Trekkers or Jungle Trekkers.
My terrain is all round, but not rock crawling.

Mate I am a big fan of the ET2 'pedes. They just rip through shit. I have driven them on a cut down short wheel base and they went pretty tops. Then I drove them on my lwb 60# which weighs a far bit more and the things just bit into every ledge I went over, ripped apart near verticle lips and hauled the 60s big fat ass right over. Top stuff

Go the ET2

If you are giong the all round option, I would definately go the JT2's as they have a longer (slightly) life than the ET's. However, If you are doing alot of mud/clay etc I would choose the pedes as they are arguably the best value/fun for the money. They definately clear alot better and are more aggressive, but you also pay for that in the wear factor comparitively.

I am leaning towards JT's, largely cos they will last a little longer than the XTs. Yet to confirm the price...that will be a factor too.

After driving on the JT and seeing lots of ET in action, I'd perfer the JTs. Just another opinion for you....

As I said earlier, ET2s are heaps grippier (is that a word) than tha JTs. Also if you are just wanting to try them out without too much expeditutre I would advise buying some second hand ones off this site. Around $1000 for a set of 4 at around 80 - 85%.
