36 pedes are good in mud with better cross tread. swampers are also good but better on rocks as they arent inclined to tear off the lugs as quick.

if you have a bad habit of excessive wheel spin you will shred the pedes in no time where the swampers will give a bit..

I ran 33x12.5x15 TSL Swampers and my mate runs 35x11.5x16 Centipedes and have found my Swampers worked better on the rocks etc but the Simex was slightly better in the mud. As for the 36 Simex I think it wont be as good due to the 3 lugs getting clogged quicker, I have recently gone and upgraded to 36 Swampers as had a great run on my 33s
For aggressive tyres I personally recon the 37 sticky Maxxis Trepadors are now Number One but still too Pricey for weekend warriors.

Both great tyres up to you and the price!!!

love the claws, and with treps out the claws are dirt cheap, they wear better then both those tyres, but again wont grip as well as either, but still good enough for a weekend hack :D
