Simex ET2 Pedes vs Silverstone MT 117 Extreme

Hey guys, I know this was touhed on breifly in an earlier post this week, and I asked the question, but noone really answered me.

Im really keen to hear from people that have tried both of these tyres. I read that the Silverstone's had a few problems earlier on, have they been overcome?

with a Saving of $80 per tyre in the size i'm after, & I will need 5 tyres , one for a spare its worth me looking into if they are holding up just as good as the Simex's

Cheers

ET2s seem to be the go so far as quality and ruggedness. Have heard that Silverstones hadle badly on road, but seem OK off road whereas ET2 are OK on road but noisy (as they both are).

As a Malaysian, i say the Pedes seems tougher in construction, but i feel the Silverstone clear the mud better, and grips better because of the softer compound.
Also rolling resistance is better as the Silverstone is much lighter than the Pedes.

Anyway the next tyre i'm going to run are the Silverstones.
My RIG sucks big time.
