Simex must be part of the same company as Fedima. This one is called a Simex Extreme Trekker II (Centipede) and looks nearly identical. There are differences but they are very close.

Although I am not a tall skinny fan, that tread looks mean as hell!

Here is another link for a lot of tires. Click on the "All Terrain, Street, Mud Terrain, Extreme Terrain" ect tabs near the top right and new pages of more tires come up. Plus it has a full tire size, gear, mph + other calculators there too. LOTS to look at!

Those are all neat tires MKcustoms, the problem is we can’t get any of those in the USA that I know of. Can we?

I'd assume we'd have to pay through two noses...

You can buy them, you just have to figure out the currency difference plus the shipping.

Also not sure if they are DOT legal here in the states, I'd have to look. I've ran non DOT on the road a few times on different vehicles, never had a problem.

Altec · 04-28-2011, 10:11 PM

Sadly, they aren't DOT marked.

silver7 · 05-07-2011, 07:38 AM

1970GMC468 · 06-10-2011, 11:13 PM

Yes they are. Great tires made by Cooper and the only place that has a warranty on muds 40,000 mile. They are 285-75-16s.. Took the big wide ones off and love the skinny ones.. Next is all new trim and paint..

Thank you Vector! A work in progress but she is gettin' there...

**special-K** · 05-08-2011, 11:52 AM

Once I get my '85 Jimmy lifted on 8-lug axles I want to go with 255/85 mud tires. I have a new set of stock 16" wheels I bought years ago to use on a Cheyenne Super I never restored. For now it'll run 12.50/35 MTRs but those will become my flotation set once I get the others. The Jimmy is 100% stock and stone simple now with stock wheels/hub caps/235/75-15s now and I just want it beefy stock looking.

j hannah · 05-10-2011, 05:12 PM

These are 235/85r16 Mud Star 10 ply tires. They arent the best wearing tires, but they do real good out on the old muddy dozer roads I have to drive on.
