Outer Limits 4x4 Board

So has anyone driven on these for an extended period of time? I think they will be my next set of tyres but would like some feedback on them.

Also, any idea on what a good price is? They go for about $180 a tyre in the states but the only quote I've had over here was $390 Size was 35x12.5x15 Talking to one of the guys in Canada they are cheeper than MTR's over there.

CHeers.

P.s. Did a search, not much info at all.

I ran them for over a year. Same size as you want.

I got them for $330 a tyre back then

Great tyre. A step above a muddie in the bush, and the side biters have let me crawl up many ruts i previously wouldnt have

while they are slightly better than a muddie in the bush, they are also slightly worse on road. If it's wet, they slide everywhere, and struggle for traction.


I did about 30,000km and it wore them down to 50%

They are a great rock crawling tyre and good in ruts and mud. Not as good as a simex, but again, better than a muddie

steve roly had a set for a while.

but they were only on his playdo, so...

lookin at the close tread, I think they would be a shithouse muddy

now bogged compare that photo to a bfg/ cooper or goodyear mtr and you'll see why they go better in the mud


horses for courses man

Still very interested in these, would like some more feedback is all.

I am very interested in these too, now I have seen they come in a 37x12.5x16 - anyone know if this size is available in OZ???

I've got 34x12.50R15 and 35x12.50R15 TRXUS in stock at the moment. They are reasonably soft/sticky.
Bogged, in the flesh they are a very open pattern. The photo really doesn't do this tyre full justice. It's sort of a softened TSL in nature. Not quite as open or as sharp as the TSL, but more aggressive than a conventional Mud and has a larger lug aswell.

Cheers,
Ryano

ladys ladys,,,

i think blind freddy can see the more aggressive tread pattern nice looking rubber........ if not i'd recomend laser eye surgery,,,, as i can see it now.

if ya real keen ask fourby's moorooka's ryano for details availability and $$ and he can usually organise freight...... good deals if ya mention us

hottiemonster now has a set of these, looking at them they are allot like an ST BUT They also have the standard swamper side bitters which when the tyre is aired down will bite like all shit, i'm wheelin with him tomorrow with him with these on so we will see how they go

To me the center blocks look SMALL, eg: not as high as the sides by a long shot. To me this would fill up with clay/mud real fast.

I didnt think the photo was great, but its one of the better ones Ive found on the web.
any chance of you takin some good photos of them against an ST/MTR/BFG and then on otherside a TSL?

Take care.

Cool, that would be good

i guess its all upto me now

i went on a trip up labatouche way on these tyres and they worked well in the sloppy mud up there, just that big red toy didnt come to see for himself and the sidewall is horn

bogged, i dont think you know much about tyres or dont pay attention much.

in mud EVERY tyre fills up in the middle, yes even a bogger does, and it's the side lugs that pulls you through, hence why side lugs are so much bigger. It's just physics man, the mud has to go somewhere, and being sticky thats where it goes.


Centre lugs are for on road where the surface is hard.

I had a set of these on my Prado, did 30,000 km's on them, and they are a damn fine muddie.

The weight of the tyre is an indication of how strong they are, the side walls are thick and strong, they clean well, and a re well suited to the victorian clay mud.

Bruce, if you can tell how good a tyre is from a photo you are a wise man, but how about you get of your arse and buy a set, bolt them on, and try them. You will be able to give an opinion then, until then, I would suggest you pipe down and talk about things you have had first hand knowledge in, unlike the MisInformation you normally Dribble

Steve

well i am home and they worked well. its hard to comment on how good they are as i am used to a simex, and they are definately not better than a simex. but they are much better than my all terrains.

i ran them at 15psi and they bag very well, and the sidewall is very strong.

yes having them on a shiney hard core parado that did 1 cape trip is some serious experience... Im humbled by your experience with them.

Buy them? why? If I have JT's and MTRs why would I want them? if I sold the JT's I would get proper swampers.

then why is there any chunky tread at all in the center, and not smooth like car tires?
There are times when sidewalls arent touching the dirt/mud/shit etc , and the center tread is what is keeping you going - Agree? Then you DO need good cleaning tread in the middle dont you? or am I dreaming?

Bogged,

I think you are missing my point of looking for capable daily drivers. I have 38" TSL's for anything else too serious.

35in BFG AT's... perfect cheap street tires.. they look less chunky so keeps the bacon off ya arse too..

I wouldn't waste my money on any AT's.

I think you would find it hard to find 35inch HT's

Have run them for 18 months, tough.

Drawbacks
Lack of self cleaning in clay deep mud.

Best tyre ever in Snow and rock crawling.

Also ran X Terrains in 33,35 &37
35 x 11.5 Centipedes
35 Pro Comp Mudies and BFG Old MTs
q78 Swampers
9/34 Swampers
MT117 Silverstones

Would probably buy another set but would better off with a set of 35 non textile radials

why if they are only for the road would last longer and grip better in wet etc.
