I'm not running them but from what I've heard from the guys who are is that they are very stiff and don't bag when aired down but then neither will a simex under a Zuk :wink:

Brownie,

I went through the same question a few months ago and opted for the swampers - heard too many negatives about the simex and the motorways. As far as i'm aware of the only negatives for the swampers are that they are illegal on the road - plus the whole wear quickly, noisy, poor handling etc... but in my case the car only drives on weekends and most of that time it's driving very slowly with the hubs locked so i don't mind putting up with what ever the costs are on-road.

If your car is for off-road, swampers :D

cheers,
Greg

If you cant afford a swamper etc they're a good compromise i reckon. For me they're spot on, the "middle ground" between mud terrains and swamper/simex etc, for a zook i reckon they're perfect, ESPECIALLY now they are bringing in some decent sizes :D

what sorta price am i looking at for some mongrels and does the speed limit on them worry anyone surely doing say 130 couldnt effect them to much?? spose a zook aint really a speed demon so thats not a real concern.

not on a zuk, too light. it would only put bugger all weight on each wheel.

anyway they're bonded from bead to bead they wont just fly off 'cause they're stuck to the rim.

What engine & gearing do you have?

If you threw these tyres on i doubt most zooks would do over 120 anyway
