Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Can someone tell me how much the Simex ET2's retail for roughly and how much they weigh(tyre only, no rim)??

Trying to work out a bulk buy and how much cheaper I can get them for in a bulk lot instead of paying retail price.

Cheers.

Simex have just had a price rise on the 7th of July. On average about 30 bucks a tyre.
If you tell me what size i'll tell you a RRP.

35x11.5/16. RRP $455.00 (out of the pricebook)

$25 dearer than a 38" Swamper

ahh yep. It'd be interesting to compare the prices for all of the bog type bias tyres in 35. I think I'll be going away from Simex at those prices.

You don't want these. They have a very round shoulder, they are super super stiff, heavy and quite small.

Go for an LTB if you're looking for little swampers. SX's woudn't be an improvement over a Simex.

I run 36 12.5 SX's on my merc and quite like them, but I'm beadlocked and it's a 2500kg car.

I like the LTB's but the problem is I think that about 32" by 10.5 is the limit of what size I can run on my zook (yes I've done all the gaurd work/bashing and moved the axle, it's the firewall that's holding me back). I might get away with 31X11.5 due to the less diam allowing more width before hitting the front spring on lock, but I'd prefer a little more hight.

these are the LTB sizes available on their website.

So there isn't really one that is suitable except for the 31 which is a little small for my liking.

Anybody have prices at all? Who stocks swampers and pedes?
