hey mate i say very exelent tyre... when on road if there not aired down to much they have good road manners ..

you could say they are a copy i of the simex they probly are but the center lugs are spaced much further apart wich help greatly with the tyre staying clean, nearly at all times when the wheeels are rotating .

i run -25 ofset on the lux to give it a bit of extra track width this doesnt make them stick out the guards though ...

hers some pics of his car at last years nissan trials, running 35's,

We run them on our race truck (GQ Patrol extra-cab ute) and have nothing but good things to say about the way they perform in mud, rocks and clay. They clear easily and the lugs bite very well.

They are a small 35" tyre and measure almost 1.5" less diameter than a 36" Simex. We shave the underside of our diffs to compensate for reduced ground clearance.

Just a shame they are only available in 35x10.5x16's.

chaple corner tyres are the main dealer in Vic

Post by **MUD EMPIRE** » Tue Sep 26, 2006 9:24 pm

The MT117's are, put simply, the best traction tyre available.(for the price)
Problems...Not as strong as some.
...They wear super fast.
...The lugs damage easily.
...Suitable range is in light 4B's.

But while they are newish the traction makes a simex look
like a BFG mt. ..no apoligies.

Available sizes are.........
31-10.5-15
33-10.5-15
35-11.5-15
35-10.5-16

I got a price on the 35x11.5x15 of $305ea, not sure if they are that much dearer because of the extra width and only 15" rims, or if they guy quoting is tryin to rip me (which I very much doubt)

I also got a price on the Simex ET2 Pedes of $380ea for the same size 35x11.5x15. Can anyone tell me if that is a good price?

I assume its because they are a newer size, as most people only know of them in 10.5

I would like to know anyone who has run both for a comparison?

Cheers

i got quoted 280 in queensland for 35 x 15

Post by **QIKAZZ** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 9:46 pm

but were they 10.5" or 11.5" wide? I think most people (and stores) are only aware that they come in 10.5"

I got my store to ring his supplier to get a price on the 11.5" because it was not listed in his price book.

Cheers

$380 for 35 11.5 15 Simex ET2 is quite a good price retail is around $395 and you will find no one moves on price much with Simex
