Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Have done a bit of searching around and not found much, so...

Who makes some nice narrow 33" or 34" tyres? I currently have some 34 10.5 15 Swamper LTBs for my zuk, but was looking for some other options for comp work. Want the tyre to measure at least 33" (with tape measure) when mounted.

Looked at the specs on simex, do the 32" Pedes really measure over 33" when mounted or is this just hype?

Tyres will be mostly used on slippery clay, with some occasional action on rocks.

Cheers.

Prefer something a little more aggressive, and preferably on a 15" rim.

the diameter of bias ply tyres is affected by inflation pressure to some degree, so at 35 psi they might be 33", but at the 10psi you'd run them at off road, probably not.

I believe it's 31" pedes that are 33" measured. A web search might reveal something, as I am sure I read those specs off a page somewhere. (eg, manufacturer specs, not 2nd hand info from a toothless, one armed midget redneck).

My 36" Pedes measure exactly 925mm on 8" rims but off the car @ 40psi, very close to stated by manufacturer so it would be fair to say their specs are fairly accurate.

Don't think its the 31's (Judging the ones i've seen)

The 32 in the 16 inch is definately close to the 34X9.5 swamper.

Mudzuki, you getting rid of the LTB's ??

From their specs

Extreme Trekker

32x9.5-15" 6PR 111N 268mm / 10.5" 849mm / 33.4"

No, just the price of finding a matching spare is killing me. Been told that i would be up for $410 for a LTB!!!

Thinking of different tyres for comp and extreme, and the LTBs for road and play

I'd go a 33X10.5 BFG for your spare. If you ever get a flat then just drive home aired down.

Sweet

The zook sierrajim has built up came with 33X10.5's

Not sure what he did with them.

Could be an option for a cheap spare.

interco has some good sizes.

dont know if available here though..

Amate has 31" pedes on his Zook and off the car they measure a 32"

Just measured my 32 simex extreme trekkers and they are 32,1/4.
I think they were a bit over 32,1/2 when new.

I ran the SIMEX 32's on my Discovery, now using 33 BFG, the BFG's are about 5mm bigger, as I had to take the checker plate of my rear step to close the door. With the Simex 32's the door just closed, with a push, but with the BFG's it hit the checker Plate.
