if you are going any 37's in comp spec ONLY go the treps.....they are the shit, they make a massive difference over the creepies. Dont rate creepies at all we have used the narrow 37 creepies and the wide creepies both crap.

my truck isnt finnished yet but its a hilux wagon chopped, stretch the wheelbase to 118", linked rear, ruf, wider, bout 7" lift, big shocks, ect, typical hilux mods, pritty flexy too.
Im asking the question cause with the treps ive gotta buy rims aswell, if there that good im and don't compare i guess im buying rims.

I'd be keen to see some pics of that. Sounds cool & from what I can see in your avatar.

The treps are all the rage lately, I've heard nothing but good things.

any sticky tire is not even comparable to a regular compound tire, so in that case go the treps as i dont think you are goin to get sticky creepies

i have just went from sticky 37" baja claws to 40" treps and havent noticed any difference in traction its just the size of them that has made the difference to me

Anyone know where to get treps in sydney?
We have tried a few places but the quotes we were getting sounded like they didn't want to have to get them in.

Ive got a set of 37" treps in the normal compound, and they crap all over my old 38" creepies. So u would think that the sticky treps would be even better again!

Ive always had normal compound tyres, you can make then work with the right pressures. Just gone to sticky treps, would never go to a normal compound again!

I also run stickie treps on my truck , awesome tyre wouldn't go back to a normal compound after driving on them .

And Ryano at Fourbys is your man to speak to , i got mine through him and he sent them to sydney and was still much cheaper than every where else .
