I run them. Only done 500kms on them so far online though while sorting out truck. Hard sidewalls need to drop pressure heaps then they start working great based on wat my mate says
Current 4wd: Surf Kzn185 ssrg factory Intercooled (yet to start build)

Thick sidewalls, dont bag alot. Wear out very fast on the road. 37's are a mongrel on the road.
I love em!!!! :mrgreen:

Yip and yip :mrgreen: 8" rims tend to make them crown a bit which wears out the centres faster. But I've run 35/12.5/15 Crawlers on 8" rims at 12psi without issues.

No worries on my whale with the 35's and 8" rims. Would run them at 7 or 8 psi off road. Did manage to get about 40 thousand km out of them on road :lol: :lol: :lol:

there more suited to a heavy truck mate, really stiff sidewalls it takes a lot of weight to get them to bag out, on my cruiser they still look like road pressure at 10psi and I have to let them down to about 3-4 psi to get them to start bagging. There good points are they are a really tough tyre well suited to rocky terain they dont cut up and rip sidewalls out and they have a good side bite in ruts when there still new and sharp other than that there just another average tyre, they fit 8 or 10 inch rims ok, I prefer them on 10's to keep the footprint a bit wider and have never had one pop a bead yet with beadlocks, like simexes and other agressive tyres they wear pretty quick on the road and need lots of weights to ballance them, they run better tubeless than with tubes I had about 1000 puntures untill I pulled the tubes out the sidewalls are pretty abrasive and wear through tubes when everythings moving around and rubbing at low pressure Image
