Guys,

I've had a few people in my club hassle me about sourcing these for them in a 6.5x16 or a 7x16 sizing direct from Japan (Maxxis don't bring over the small sizes locally).

To make shipping over a heap worthwhile I figured I'd ask here if anyones interested.

Costs would be approx. $1260 a set ex Sydney and payment would be in full upfront - timeline would be about 8 weeks from placement of order.

Anyone interested?

My goodness. Do want so very much.... I can't though.

You will have some interest, quite a few of us have talked about this tyre in this size.

No idea but if there is interest I'll suss it out.

We've been mainly looking for a replacement tyre for LJ's (so the 6.5 is pretty good) along with a near 31" size that was a little narrower than a 10R.

I tried to get some of the 255/85R16's. If you're able to get them I will definitely want some.

Marathon Spares (in Tamworth) emailed me a price list a couple of hours ago- old school jeep stuff, but stumbled on a cool surprise!

They show a 6" x 16" bartread at $130.00
price does not include GST

Best of luck, original bar treads are 4ply, these won't be.

Would really love a set of 7.00/16 Creepys, just not while my stupid rear diff is welded. Dead set waste of good rubber. Will need airlockers first. Such sticky rubber being left on the road all the time would just shit me.

[31zook]

Are these tyres actually anygood? I would be up for a set of 235/75R15s if there as good as treps/KM2s....

[tanshi]

from all accounts they are a good tyre, they usually get over looked in favor of treps because of cost.
