hey all,well when i bought my zuk back a few months ago some 95% 31 treps x4 were thrown in with it
i gave them a quick measure up tonight,just a large steel rule next to it and sighting across,with 32 psi measures about 30,maybe 30 and a bit
Does seem a little small,id like to have another measure.How have others found them?and are they any good as a tyre in the smaller sizes,have mates running them in 35s and 37s who love them
When measuring my half worn 32 simex centrepedes the same way they measure 32.5 still.?

I haven't measured my 30" treps, but off road, they are brilliant, I love em.
Great on wet rock, mud, not good in sand  and pretty good on the
road. I'll deffinately by buying another set after mine wear out.

I have driven a sierra that was running treps in a 31 and they were awesome.
Like zookimonsta said, they are good on everything but sand, not that they are bad in sand its just there are better tyres for sand work.
I always thought they looked a little small for 31s, but never measured them.

i was a bit buggered when i measured,but they seem so small.ill look at em again tomorrow.
it has bald hankooks at the moment so anything will be better haha.might run the treps for a while and see how they go,if there anything like the maxxis bighorns i run on my lux,im sure they will be a great tyre.If i want bigger ill try the simex for a while,but wet rock will be a no go with simex haha

ive recently had more luck with simex on rock running lower pressures - however my rears are also pretty worn so i have more contact on the rocks now and less tread flex.

32psi is a bit much for a Zook, you might get a harsh ride with them at that pressure... 24 to 26psi is the norm...

i'm pretty sure he would have had them up that far just for measurement purposes

the treps arent on the zuk or zuk rims,they are off a mates pajero and are still on its rims and pressure.
But i run mine on 32 around town to help the wobbles up front  and stop the cig rear being so chirpy
