simex centipedes m/t goodyear mtr's
wat do u guys think about the simex centipedes m/t and goodyear wrangler mt/r.wat kind of km's wld i get out of both with a reasonable amount of highway driving aswell
I run the Simex's & love em. Done about 25,000 km on then and have worn 3-5mm, from 14mm depth when new, with just a bit of feathering on the front shoulders ( I take corners too fast). Quite satisfactory on road, but I have to run em at 36-40psi, so they don't flop around on the sidewall. Good wet road performance, but I admit an MT/R is better in this respect.
Honestly, I go anywgere a standard muddie will go, and further. Gone further than MT/R's & BFG's on identical trucks (Surfs). Clean pretty well in mud & clay, grip well on rock (busted front diff to prove it
) and pretty tough construction in tread section. I staked a sidewall, but only after driving over a sharp stump. For $165 a corner (dirt cheap I reckon) you can't go wrong.....
Get em.......

I have only seen them in a 33 run on a patrol trayback, seem to have a weak sidewall, seen him do to of them, and they are not very good on rock.....MTRs are much better in that domain, but in the mud they are as good as any other with tha kind of tread patern. Mind you I have now done the side wall on an MTR twice
If the above post did not offend you in any way please PM me so I can try harder!!
The Simex Centpede M/T's only come in 31x10.5's so not sure what you saw in a 33". I have these on mine at the moment and find them a good tyre for the money. Compared to a MTR they don't have any side lugging but the voids are little more open so they clear the mud better. They are are not wearing much at all but then again they are only on a lwb Vitara. They are quite OK on the road too but then again I haven't had MTR's to compare.Tiny wrote:I have only seen them in a 33 run on a patrol trayback, seem to have a weak sidewall, seen him do to of them, and they are not very good on rock.....MTRs are much better in that domain, but in the mud they are as good as any other with tha kind of tread patern.

I'm running Simex M/T's at the moment, so far about 70% tread left after 30 000km, 90% hwy:10% dirt on a 1.6 tonne vehicle. Only come in 31 x 10.5 R 15. Reasonably good in mud when aired down to 16 psi, only been lacking power not traction. Only lost one bead, no sidewall damage, no punctures to date.
George Carlin, an American Comedian said; "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realise that half of them are stupider than that".
I'm using them. No problems... In my case maybe they wear faster than usual coz i've a heavy right foot in a detroit equiped car plus i love to fly round corners in a tippy, missabliged, worn out bushed Rocky.
No problems in the torrential rain we get here in Malaysia, just that they suck during the bead in period.
No qualms with me doing 140kph flat out though in the dry.

My RIG sucks big time.
I run Simex M/T on my Wrangler and love them! Done over 25000 kms and still plenty of tread. Can be noisy on blacktop, but the Wrangler is anyway, so who cares? Surprised me with the traction on wet bitumen as well.
I run 28 psi on road, drop to 22 in mud/rocks, less on sand and never had a problem with sidewalls or rolling off rim.
For the price, I say unbeatable!
