Freeloder · 10-04-2006, 11:59 AM

Are these available in the U.S.?

Silverstone MT-117 XTREME

If so where can I get them?

Or these...

Simex Extreme Trekker

Choqiees · 10-04-2006, 01:25 PM

yes you can get them here, but since they're not DOT approval, they're offroad use only.

sry, can't help with where to get them

KevinNY · 10-04-2006, 02:41 PM

www.4x4ag.com can get them for you. They are expensive and illegal on public roads. We do have a little US company called Interco that can help you out.

I am sure that Simex are DOT approved.

Not in the US

not here, Ian.

even 19" MTRs are not DOT approved

p76rangie · 10-06-2006, 04:14 AM

I stand corrected. I was sure that it had a DOT marking on the tyres, but I just went out to check and its not there. If is strange that Swampers are not legal in Aus as they do not have an appropriate speed rating, but are DOT approved, yet Simex are legal here and not legal in the States.

Certain Simex tires are US DOT approved, unfortunately the Jungle & Extreme Trekkers are not.

We did have a set of 35x10.5x16 Ext Trekkers for sale at MAR.

How are you going to drive to the Sunland Park Mall with unapproved tires?
Isn't that extremely dangerous?

Bleed Green RRC · 10-09-2006, 01:49 PM

That's a good looking tire.

smileyq · 10-09-2006, 02:34 PM

Hope you don't plan on doing any street driving with your Disco. I can see the gas gauge moving now.....

John C · 10-10-2006, 07:04 AM

I had the opportunity to try the Jungle Trekkers at MAR this past weekend and they were incredible. My DI is not locked and I was able to get thru sections of the trails only locked trucks with 35s could get thru.

Here's a pic of them on my DI, they are 34x10.5x16:

John, I was speaking with Adrian yesterday and he was telling me about the tires' performance...insane man...sounds like you guys had a BLAST! Will you guys be posting any pics on your site gallery?

Say,do you have HD axles and different gears on your truck???

OkieRover · 10-11-2006, 08:13 AM

It's a sad day when a good DIG goes unnoticed and unresponded to...
Sad indeed.
