Re: What the best simex extream or centerpede
As far as I know there are 3 simex - twin block or triple block which have same or similar side treads and 2 or 3 centre rows of smaller blocks - tripples run better on road, twin bite in mud a bit more(both called centipede??) and the jungle trekers that are different tread.

Re: What the best simex extream or centerpede
Yes now where getting somewhere.i have some 32's simex 10.5 x15 want a wee bit more clearence. I have a set of 37" kumos but i dont have enough power to spinn them clean.
My 32's are those three block simex my even be four block and the centers dont clear that well.but been lookin at some of those silverstone ones they have only two small block centers and big side lugs. They look like they would clear easyer than the simex anyone here have any first hand expereance with this

Re: What the best simex extream or centerpede
the guys ive talked to all recomend silverstones, cheaper, clear better, only prob is they are slightly smaller than the simex counterpart.

Not any more, they're made with new moulds now and are actual size.
Re: What the best simex extream or centerpede
only thing to watch with silverstones is they dont get the road wear that simexs do good for trailered vehicles/ short distances. simex do a twin block tread patern aswel so there is options bothways but as said silverstones are cheaper
Re: What the best simex extream or centerpede
silverstone clear better, and grip in the mud better.
simex will out last for wear.

I didn't think that simex did a triple block tyre in 32" size. Only 29" and 36"
I picked up a second hand set (like new) of 4 x 32" x 9.5" x 16 two lug simex's for $1200.
New I think the silverstones are a bit cheaper and by the sounds of it just as or better offroad
Re: What the best simex extream or centerpede
4wdbits seem to have really good pricing for the Silverstones at the moment... need two new ones myself.
