As far as I know that size is not available in Aus as yet. 35 12.5R15 is
the closest at around $340.00.
I've sold them and heard back from customers that they are an exceptional
road tyre and they are good for rocks and mud. They are extremely
strong with a new carcas utilizing stainless steel in the belting.
I haven't used them myself as yet, looking forward to it tho.......

Is the tyre in your avatar a radial trep? I understand there is a comp spec bias version as well?

I have the 35"s and they are an awsome tyre on and off road. Off road they grip very well, climb up banks with side wall with ease and no lugs torn off on rough shaily surfaces. On road they are very quiet and handle nicely with light steering. Very happy with them.

MUD EMPIRE,
Are you only a distributor or rep for Maxxis ......are there any deals available .......
Could possibly have a sale of Two sets of stickys in the trepodor range 37" x 17" rim if there available in OZ yet ??.....

Yes, I sell them. 37 sticky's not available yet. Have a deal going on
Team Mud Rhino for a set of street compound 17's atm.

Lateral grip is outstanding on both the radial and the comp tyres. Customers
who have purchaced the radial 35's report exceptional mud traction.
Are the radials directional?
Bias & radial Trep's are directional.....
These tyres are at the cutting edge of new carcas construction tech.
My opinion is that other tyre companies will be playing catch up for some
time to come.......time will tell if I'm right.

I'm thinking it shouldn't be far away (we've waited long enough).
Aus is at the end of the cue again
I'll try again Monday for more info. Good news is tho, that the
40 13.5 17 & the 37 12.5 16 are "sticky"

Why is the carcass special?

Why is the carcass special?
Radials have a unique stainless belting witch eliminates tread
seperation and is also strong enough to withstand puncturing
by stones and stakes.
The bias ply comp sticky is only made in minimum batches of
22 units, ordered from a distributor. The carcas build of these
stickys differs from the bias street compound tyre. Each for
their intended purpose.
So the sticky is built from the ground up to flex, when and where
it's needed, for maximum traction on rock.
The (bias) street tyre is of more use for general purpose 4WDing.
This is the reason that the sticky's are so hard to find...........
Few tyre mobs around the world make tyres in such small batches.
I'd say this makes them "special"

You're right. They are special.
Thanks for this.
