Ok so situation is, i am in the market for new tyres for my 105 series. I had ordered and paid for 5x 35" nitto mud grapplers and was later told they are unavailable in Australia. So i have been looking at other tyres such as simex et2 but cannot find any available but i have found some maxxis m8060 trepador bias in a 35x12.5r16 i have been told by the supplier these are not the competition stick treps that come in 37" plus so would run on road like any other bias ply tyre. My problem is i have spoken to a few local shops in regards to fitting and they want nothing to do with it as i will still be driving the car on road on occasion and dont feel these are a safe tyre even though they are dot approved. My question is has anyone ran these on road and what was your experience? The car is not a daily drive but i do drive it to camping locations, beaches and sometimes on weekends. The reason i am after such aggressive tyres as i do compete in it as a winch truck and rock crawler. I am trying to find the most aggressive tyre possible to be also driven on road conditions occasionally without being a safety risk. I understand they will wear much faster that standard mt tyres also but am more concerned about safety aspects.
The tyres are also dot rated, and on the maxxis website for the bias ply treps it states "To improve on-road stability and performance, the tyre also features nylon belt reinforcement for extra high-speed stability while improving puncture resistance." Which leads me to belive they can be driven on roads
Please any advice is welcomed, i am no expert so please feel free to tell me i am being an idiot if this is a stupid idea.
