Just found out today that Simex has made new comp tyre that is designed as more of an all terrain, it looks simular to a krawler and its works well on rock. I will post up a pic soon just waiting for an e-mail.

yeah saw that a couple of weeks ago when scotty was selling his pedes to go to a new comp tyre.
It is actually marketed under general tyres rather than simex
It's the last tyre in this link. No details of sizes or prices.

from the pic it doesn't look like that much - perhaps it is more impressive in the flesh (just like 37inch radial treps dont photo well imo)

Hmmm looks crap. What type of comp is it designed for? Is it radial/bias?

In addition, the Grabber name and General Tire logo are prominently featured on the sidewall in red and white letters.
WOOT WOOT!! how can you deny its a good tyre when it has that as a selling point??

I got excited to early
[QUOTE=Ryano;846854]It's actually made by General (Same Aussie Distributor as the Simex Xtremes).
They come in 35x12.50R17 and 37x12.50R17 and are called the General Grabber Baja.
Cheers,

Head to head with the BFG Krawler for a radial rock tyre.

Maybe more Baja T/A.
Webpage mentions compound. Could be cool in a sticky.
