simex JT2 ?

Post by **B Dust** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 8:02 pm

I have a GU 4.2 turbo with a 3" lift and are looking for some advice on a new set of play tyers. Anyone had much to do with simex JT2 as I was considering a set.

run the 34" ones on my troopy and find them great.
Haven't tried fitting them to my GU. It has a 2" lift and should fit 35's but need to run 16" rims so have to save up for a new set :S

had them on my GQ, and loved them. great tire for the price. Would go another set without question.

There are so many "PLAY" tires out there

Depends on what sort of wheeling your doing, rock, mud, clay, etc...

Got them on my disco2 and love them also. If they'll fit the 11.5 wides are definately the go over the 10.5's as they have better smooth surface traction. The 34x11.5-16 when new also measure up at 35.2" in the centre of the tread and 300mm wide through the bad on an 8" rim.

I love them. Drive near as well as my pro-comp muds on the road (apart from the noise), and are brilliant in the dirt. Not so crash hot on rock though. One big plus over the ET's is that they're not directional.

I just wish they came in bigger sizes for my next set!

I've found the tread pattern of the ET's to be far superior to JT's in all terrains and road handling. Personally, if i was getting 33's i'd get a set of Mongrels over the JT's hands down.

What sort of mileage can u expect on road.

Depends on how you drive on them. Touring on bitumin isn't good for wear, but otherwise they're ok. I've never run mine down to bald in the centre, but I reckon my 33x10.5's were on target for about 40,000km's and the 34/11.5s will go further.

only thing with JT's as said in 230948230498 other threads is they flatspot something savage if left on coupla days without being driven.. shakes your teeth to bits for first 2-5klms

I have to agree with you but running 40 psi (on road almost eliminates this)

What kind of pressures do you all run? On my troopy i run ~40psi on the road, yet i've had people insist on running much lower (~25psi) to preserve the center tread. I've found that when running low pressures on road i can just about feel every shoulder lug around corners - can't be good for shoulder-life?

u cant be serious can ya?? i started of with mongrels, then the ets in a 32, i found then great but they dug in to much, ive recently put 33 jt2s on now and they r the bomb over the other 2.

i ran 33 jt2s before i went to 36 iroks and though they were excellent offroad couldnt really fault them in all terrain types.they did however flatspot horrendously when left standing for a while.

I'm assuming your opinion is based on buy price not tyre quality?
