Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey all,
Was wondering if anyone could give some advise on tyres for my rig. I will prolly be getting a new set for offroad next year and was wondering what to get. (they will be offroad only but will need to do be able to handle road kms to get to trail)
I would love 37's or similar but am not sure how much it will fuck gearing.
I was looking at claws or even pro comp exterrains.
Sick of buying 35' tires that are really only 33'!!!!!

any advise appreciated

Cheers
Brian

37 MTRs

yeah I got mtr's and I was looking for something stronger and better at self cleaning.
My personal experience is that the mtrs are shite in the mucky stuff
really want a good strong side wall etc
I know mtrs are good I have a set but I want something chunky

37" boggers

Most tires suck in stick mucky shit.


Strong sidewalls, either boggers or swampers. Boggers need neddies to clean themselves properly, heaps of threads on them here.... Swampers better general tire.

how about 36 swampers or centipedes

So nobody likes the claws?
I don't have the power (at the moment anyway) for boggers but I really want a tyre that is the size that it says it is
Are swampers really 36 Do you run these tires big red???

Swamper Q78,s are a true 36" !!!!

the series 2 Simex Extremes are also a 36" !!!

Do they clean as well as the 35's do with the extra row of chunks???

I'm guessing his 200kw @ the wheels probably helps ...

i thought Q78s were 35.5 inch.

i like the baja claw!!! thinking of running a 37 x 13.5 x 16 for my next set of tyres once the 315/75/16 muddies run out

but i also love the q78 swamper.

so many choices so little money

1/2 an inch aint that much to complain about!

yeah its close enough.
i dont like mickey thompsons.
if your MTRs are clogging up your not spinning them fast enough

36 swampers are 36.3" which is prolly what i'll get next.
At the mo i'm running 38 swampers.

going smaller???

that's unheard of!!

Reports from the New Zealand challenge say no, also that they are much heavier than the 35's, noticeably less power.....

get Q78s they have deeper tread than 36s and 38s

I know this is the accepted theory about boggers, but why would they be any different to other tyres?

I'm keen to run a set, but obviously i lack the ponies to do so if big horsepower is requried.

I run claws 35x12.5 and so far I quite like them, I have run normal MT;s swampers and claws .. so far I like the claws the best.
They are not to bad on the road when dry .. but suck in the wet (can lock them easily on a Zuk) but they were no worse than my swampers.

with my limited experiance with them on rock they work well (as good or better than the swampers I used) They do pretty well in the mud as well .. perhaps not quite as good as the swamper .. Still more than acceptable though ( I am not sure if this is becasue the claws are a a bit bigger and heavier and my poor lil 1.6 simply cannot spin em)

I bet these have been discussed somewhere but does anyone know about the interco irok. Come in good sizes and look awsome. Cant imagine them being any good (terrible) on the road?
Are they available here?

brian... i know a bloke runnin these on his gq pootrol and he aid they are great off road and ok on road but the gq is his daily driver too and he said they are wearing really quickly said hes done less the 10,000km and he has already lost 3-4mm off the tred
hope this helps

There was a set on the marks adaptors (i think?) truck at the 4wd show... i don't know if that means they are readily available though.

The tread on them wasn't very deep - i guess that's not such a big surprise though since they are designed purely for rock.

go the procomp x-terrain, deffinately the best all round tyre on the market, excellent off road very tough side walls for airing down and really good in the wet as they get away with running a softer compound with the bigger lugs. If a tyre grips well on the road in the wet wouldnt it grip muddy wet rocks better as well?
