the new 36 centipedes have landed [ only 20 sets ] but havn't been dot approved yet.
i would like a set of 12.5 wide centipedes but i bet it will be a while before the general public get a set.

DOT?
I didn't think we had DOT in Aust
Any indication on the $$ damage or when a larger shipment might hit....more improtantly are they considering anything in the 37-38" size????

LOL, ok. Thanks BigRed
Not thinking too well. I thought they must have revised the tread pattern or something.

I am working on Chris Hummers RR ATM and have been talking about the new tyres, He picked them up today and only 5 sets have been sent out.
One set has gone missing already, he thinks they went at Melb airport.
If you see some strange looking Simex tyres kicking around please ring Chris. :wink:

Ok stop looking, the lost tyres have been found.
Customs had them ( they needed to check them) yer right, just happened to need a set of 4 and after questions were asked they fessed up they had em.
