silverstone/simex on the road?

[Mr Zuk]

Im looking at getting some new tyres for my suzuki
I no simex and silverstone arnt made for the road but how will they handle and how many kms do they last
cheers

They are farkin horrible on the road,in my old zuk between 50 & 60 km it would get the speed wobbles and the steering wheel would try and rip ya hands off

[sibainmud]

This depends on how you treat them.
If wheel alignment is good, use higher than normal street pressures and put up with a lot of noise they should give good mileage but they are a handful in the wet
I've done quite a few road miles on mine before they wore out
Expensive road K's tho.

Cheers,

you can use them on the road but you'll chew them down to nothing in 10k

[Mr Zuk]

so it sounds like they are not the tyre for me
What other tyres are good for mud and road work?

[Drurban]

You could try Khumo's they are very good on the road and they wont wear down quickly, only thing is I have found that they dont clear out the mud like Simex's or Silverstones do.

That is one option, I also have a set of MT Hankook's, these have done me well also.

[KIWI_TERRANO]

kumho kl71 are next best thing

Simex Jungle trekkers dude, way better on road than extremes, non directional, good in mud and rocky surfaces, love them

[mudslut]

Maxxis bighorns are a good mud tyre and good value for money

Yeah, I run bighorns and they're not too bad on road, wear is reasonable and they work pretty good in mud. Good all-round tire I reckon.

[rangimotors]

tripple block simex are not that bad on the road, thjey are much better than creepy's and don't wear as bad on a light truck. It's all a trade off, you will never get a good driving and wearing road tyre that goes as good as a simex in the mud but i reckon its worth it

I have always thought the best all rounder tyres where the BFG M/T's.

Good tread depth, good aggressive pattern and hard wearing!!
