Are maxxis tyres any good I'm looking at getting some creepy crawlys and i want to know if people like them or hate them.
I have owned simex's before and found they cut easily do the maxxis tyres?

about 75% of the vehicles in tough tracks club run creepys, so they must be alright. ive never driven on them, but i will be looking at them for my next set.

Is ittrue that they come in 31's?
I was told $280 by a person at Dog Tyred at Kallangur, for a 31" Creepy.
I was unsure about this, so I asked a friend and he said his mate had 31" Creepys on his Lux..... So I am lost here, as the maxxis site, only have the Creepy's in 37"+.

I tried bob jane for maxxis rubber I wanted either buckshot or mudzilla's
they were not real helpful..
But the guys at ACE tyres at Murarrie. Were really good.. Buckshot in a 35's is $310and 33's are $235. I guess they could get them for you..
Cheers

I run the Maxxis 753.
I am very impressed with this model. Handle great in dry and wet and they are not to noisy. Not sure about other model in range but.
Cheers

The Creepy Crawlers are 35" and upwards.
Mudzilla are available in 31, 33 and 35's.

I have got a set of 38.5 creepys and a set of 36" simex ET's
The simex are better in mud and better on road than my creepies but the creepies are still an AWESOME tyre...
I love em.. they dont seem to be chipping much.. and are wearing really well, I have done prolly 3000k on mine and they haavent really lost any tread..

A little off topic but...
What does peoples think of the Swamper Boggers?
Apart from having sh!t all sideways traction.
I mainly want them for weekend work, and little road driving will be involved.
If these arent a good tyre, then what would be a good tyre for pretty much every terrain sept snow?

Take the tyres to Bob Jane and say "Well dumbass, what the fuck are these then? Who doesn't know shit now ..." and make sure they know they will NEVER get your business again.

agree - even better if they have a shop full of customers (WAIT TILL SATURDAY!) and if you have the "experts" name, make it well known infront of the 30 usual saturday morning customers that he dont know shit!
