Hi,

Does anybody use the Insa Special Track Tyres? If so what are they like for handling and noise on road and generally off road?

Thanks,

Ben

dont use them, got simex ( what there a copy of )
road, dont expect miricals, they will do as they please in the wet
dry there ok
noise, get some good earmuffs  :lol:

off the road, apply to much power in soft stuff, u will end up in china  :lol:
but they grip, and just dont stop gripping !!
they can be brutal on drive train, just depends on how heavy  the lead in the right foot is  :P  :P and how hard the ground is

dont let the road thing put you off, i love my simex, makes it fun to dirve  :twisted:

Offroad they make bad drivers look good, the increase in grip over mt patterns is like going from road tyres to muds. (dependant on the terrain of course).

Onroad expect the worse and you'll be pleasently surprised!

There are a few of us with these and all seem pleased with the performance, I have gone from Grizzly Claws to the Insa ST's, and I am more than happy.

They are quieteron road than Simex IMO as I think there are softer compound, but will obviously ware faster, careful on the corners when it's wet on the road (just dont drive mad) :twisted:

Off road they are great, they clean themselves very well, my mate runs 35" Simex and and I run 235x85x16 Insa's and there is not alot of difference in them so far. my 235's stand 33" so i loose 1" ground clearence, apart from that time will tell :!:

pux:
I have ran two sets of these tyres now and there awsome in the mud and scary on side slopes :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  but in the end changed back to kumho mt like bfg mt as they were wearing to quickly, and i think they are complete over kill on greenlanes  :wink:  and now the disco i have drives much better and not shakening me to bits unlike when i had the insas.

so to some it up in my eyes all depend what your needs are i.e green lanes pay and play etc etc if you do more green lanes then don't buy them or if you do pay and break them get em now :wink:  :wink:  :wink:  :D
