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

go 32's with 2 inch body lift and a little bit of virtual lift

i know you want to go big

bigger = better when it come to tyres

go bigger. I want to see how well the front diffs hold up on other coilys

i got 32 pedes on my zook on the weekend these tyres are absoloutely awesome i can highly recomend them, and they bag out fine, very noisy at low speed not to bad at high speed.

RB zook you dont drive hard enough to break stuff :lol:

stic with the mtrs they make enough noise so i would imagine that th simexs would make a lot more noise heath

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
