Help finding a tire

[cslimfu]

There were a few posts of a tire that looked like a swamper on the outside edges, but had a kinda square block running down the center in another place...... Think they were called scorpion , but my googlefoo brings teh suck and I sirched, but keep striking out. The center looked like this and yes, I know that's a michelin xdy-1 and am super pissed they discontinued it. Need tires for the beater truck and was gonna throw those on it to try them, but can't find them...... Also was looking at the maxxis muddzilla m8080.

They remind me of some mud tires from foreign lands I've seen. Searching for that, I ran across some others I like:

Sorry for the instant derail

And yes, that's the cap I've been running on my log truck for 20 years. Just using it as an example.

I can’t find much on my phone, we used to recap vj-900s but it didnt have a middle block. But we could put any tread on them.

Those tires are simex tires btw. And they are great in the mud.

I wheeled with a guy that had these on a samurai, very stiff, didn’t even bulge at 0 psi. Might be a pain to mount at home with the ol bead breaker and spoons

I know 14 plys are a pita to mount with a old school tire machine .

The answer is boggers. It’s always boggers.

I know it's stupid, but I also remember they were smaller tires, which is what I'm looking for. This isn't a wheeler, no lift, bone stock 280,000 mile 5.4, 265/70r17.. I've got other toys and projects.

The only Scorpion tire I know of is a Pirelli. The only one that is even slightly aggressive is the A/T+.

Are you thinking of Badak tires? There is a set of 31s for sale here in Texas but they are 15s.

I have bought two sets of Badak-X-Treme one 35" and 37" both mounted with a "normal" mount of balance weight. Pull very well around here, wet and dry dirt mostly. Flat spot after sitting, howl nicely on the road. Now there is a 40" out.

The Simex Centipede are the original tires that all these re-threaders are copying.

Simex tires are excellent and not rethreads.
