Extreme Trekker Centipede

Post by HRZOOK »

Hi All

I need some opinions and info

I am considering Extreme Trekker 'Centipedes' for my coily zook.

Q1. Are they legal on-road in NSW?
Q2. How do people rate them as an all-rounder cause that is what they will be on my rig?
Q3. Do they suit a zook ( I have heard they have a stiff side wall and may not bag out)
Q4. 31's 2" bodylift or 32's 3" bodylift

Thanks in Advanced :cool:

they are legal down right sketch in the wet on road a better tyre for an all rounder would be mtr or bfg muds size would be dependant on total lift ie springs and body lift

Your putting 33" Tyres on and your worried about them being legal Tyres?

If they see you with 33" tyres on it doesn't matter if they are Swampers they are illegal on a Zuk!

Go For IT!!!!!

i've got 32x10.5 mongrels (same pattern) on mine, and a mate has 31x10.5 simex's on his sierra. they're a great tire, but i wouldn't want to run them if its a daily driver. they're noisy as fawk and in the wet can be very sketchy. and you'll be running single digit pressures to get them to bag out even a little bit on a zuk
