Great Offroad!
Huge tread depth, better than MTR,STT,JT2, ET are better in the Mud.
Creepy is a exellent rock crawler tyre, soft flexy compound
ETs are more popular in vic due to all the wet driving and bogholes.
i had a set 2 years ago, no one else at the time i new had them, got stiffed a bit when i got them due to the local distributer not telling me that the 35x12.5 had!!! to be fitted to a 10 inch rim, due to tough as nails side walls causing very bad crowning on a 8 inch rim.
i sold them at the time dirt cheap cause no one in melbourne had seen them before.

cheers Grant.

Since you asked for opinions for Rock driving why not look at the sticky mickies "mickey thompson comp spec claws" awsome traction on rock and if you spin them up theyll get softer. Wont find a softer compound tire in this country.

He didn't say there wasn't any other soft compound tyres in Australia, he said that you won't find a SOFTER compound tyre in this country.

What he said is correct.

The smallest Creepy Crawler tire you can get is a 35/12.5/15 and being a Bias Ply tire they will serve you very well as a second set (Bush Set.) To expensive to blow on the Black top.

mtr's in a 33 you could probably pick up brand new for 300 or under per tyre

Chops told me he could sell them for $280 each..... I know someone that is selling 5 32x9.5x15(33's) Simex ET 65% to 75% worn for $750 :?: :?: :?:

I only want a set off good offroad tyres my shity 31" IRONMAN which have done some offroading and have at lest 45K on them will do me for running around on road.
