I ordered mine in through Firestone in Richmond. Dave at Tyreworld in Nelson will order them in too. If you are going 35s then I don't think you will find them in stock in Nelson. Other option is to order them through 4WD bits.
What are you after??

Thanks for that
35's x 15 and proberly bighorns,had thought of creepy crawlers as they would suit a lot of what i do BUT i also tow around a 25ft caravan so have to compromise a bit,have been running buckshot,they have done bloody big mileage

I have heard very good things about the Bighorn and the Creepy Crawler as well but i think the bighorn more suited to my needs

Graham sold the business to Sav' as a going concern, so he may still be able to supply. I haven't asked him what he's continuing with so it would be worth giving him a call.

And if you're looking for him, he's still open but has shifted in at the back of Mark Newport's workshop.

The bighorn is a radial tyre and the creepy is cross ply, a bit like chalk and cheese. The Trepador is another option to look at along side buckshot mudder and bighorn. I think our freight almost anywhere with Maxxis is pretty competitive, but errors do creep in sometimes.

Thanks Guys,i know the 2 tyres are like chalk and cheese and the creepy is a cross ply [ i would love to have both ] i have also run Simex's and Super Swampers over the years,i think it will be the bighorn just because it's will be better on the road for towing, but not as good off as the creepy,i just hope they will be above average in the mud though.Your opinion on that would be interesting
4WDbits are fantastic to deal with,i have bought allsorts off you guys over the years,i have e mailed you for freight prices

Have you heard from anyone running Creepys on a big truck like an 80 series cruiser and how well they wear?

Haven't had much feedback about creepies, some people love em and some don't.
Registered users can place feedback about any of our bits, but very few have.
