Anyone had any experience with them?

Looking at running 29" Extreme Trekkers. I like the pattern on them, seem to be a very aggresive mud tyre. Either that or Maxxis Buckshots.

What do the rest of you Zookers run?

[tanshi]

if you like ET's get the silverstone extremes instead.

ETs are very hard in the side wall.

[dave07]

depends what you're going to use them for cause because Simex ET's are on one end of the spectrum and buckshots are at the complete opposite. If your going to beusing them as a daily driver look at some less extreme mud terrains Maxxis bighorns Maxxis trepadors and if u have the $$ Mickey T baja's Just depends how often u hit the roads less traveled

[5ierra]

Ahh ok, didnt realise ET's and Buckshots were so varied. It will be a daily driver but being a light car i didnt think it would make a massive difference.

[Highway-Star]

If It's dailyed, and your only going to have one set of tyres, I would strongly advice against the ET like patterns
They wear quick, they kill fuel economy, and the are as noisy as Hell!
If you don't belive me how noisy they are, I'm in Ipswich too and have Silverstone Extremes (very similar), PM me and you can come for a drive in my car with them on

I run 32" ET and I really understand why most tyre advice for on road vehicles is against bias ply.
It squirms around all over the road, feels like crap while turning etc.

They are also noisey as hell.
I do get about 10L/100 km though.

I would advise either get two sets of tyres (one road set and one extreme off road set and swap them over), or get a mild mannered mud tyre of radial construction.

@ Highway_Star

Thanks for the advice, duely noted, had abit of a look at lunch. Maxxis Trepador's look pretty decent from what i've read they are pretty good on the road...

Also, where do you usually wheel in ippy? Ripley?

@ Jdk
i get about 10L/120Km so thats not bad (i'm stock)


At current i'm leaning away form 30"+ atm because i dont want to fork out for crawler gears yet... 29"s should be good on standard gearing correct?

[tanshi]

we wheel alot at ripley yeah.

like to get to parks a fair bit too.

I can vouch for that. Had Tara next to me cruising on the Highway after Glasshouse. Talk about a freight train.

[5ierra]

Tanshi, Highway, i think i may have seen you in there before... saw a red soft top suzi (no top on) silver sierra ute and white 2stroke lj in there one day...

who knows haha, would been keen to do a ripley trip one day if your unterested though, never really been out there with any other zooks.

[tanshi]

the white lj50 would have been 3cyl from off here
the silver ute would have been Verm1n off here
and the Red softtop could have been Highwaystar

[5ierra]

Yeh, i recognise 3cyl's car (just didnt remeber his username on here)

Well if you guy's are keen to head out someday PM me

[redzook91]

i was out at ripley last night and it was slippery as HELL! so much fun . are there any other spots within cooee of brissie that are worth the drive?

[5ierra]

Dunno, always drive past where all the bikes go off johsons road on the way to browns plains but never had a look.

That sounds like the usual suspects



Sadly mine is the only one of those cars still going


Mate I'm keen most weekends, though this coming weekend I'm at Tough Tracks (Thats right rain, sod off!). So I'll send you a PM next time I'm going out there if you like

[5ierra]

AHH the ol' creek bed, haha i'll pm you my mobile after, will probably be easier to get a hold of me, just hit me up with a txt... also, tough tracks?

[tanshi]

yeah, the comp thats on at Janowen hills this weekend

[5ierra]

Expensive? Both days? may have to make a trip out for a day... its only an hour and a half from here.

[tanshi]

yeah both days. though we will be staying up there until monday or tuesday

not sure what the cost is for watching.

but the day trip i think is either 25 or 30 and you can wheel too.

[5ierra]

I was up there 2 months ago on a wet weekend. Old man had his patrol and another mate who had his competition hilux there... gouldnt do anything... littlest drop of rain and its the greasiest of mud you will ever see. haha hopefully the rain stays away.

[ZookiMonsta]

I'm heading out to Ripley Sunday if anyones keen. PM me.

[mudzookacoatsy]

i got 30's and if u not crazy with wat u go up 30 ae good

[Choppy]

i run 29" federal couragia MT's and they seem to work well in all terrains,including black top as my sierra is my daily, little diggy in sand but apart from that im ahppy with them. in saying that if i was to get a new set of tyers id be getting 30x9.5 maxxis trepadors.

[5ierra]

Yeh i've been looking at treps, they look the ducks...

[mudzookacoatsy]
