Dude bought them in Osborne park... We they got them in a couple of hours...

Seacomms so far vey happy with them, at low speeds (say 10kms per hour) you do get some "vibration" or road noise but above that they are very smooth... Road noise is quiet for me, hard top and windows closed I can't hear them (I open the window to make sure they humm!)

Off road they are better them the oem stock tyre... For me they are great... No issues in sand, mud or rock/hard clay... But remember I am somewhat in-experienced off road

I do know there is a few aw jeeps running with them and everyone likes them...




Sent from iPad... 4dr sport with terra lift and elka shox.. Thanks sbroffroad.com.au

Hey bundy, yeah ordered them through DiscountTyresDirect in the US
- using a freight company called USAtoAUS.com, to ship them to aus, $35 a tyre for shipping - real cheap, just takes 10weeks or so

the real win is the price of the ST Maxx in the US $233 - with the aussie dollar just shy of $1USD thats pretty bloody cheap!

free ground shipping to the freight company and no import duty payable on items valued under $1k AUD.

dunno how much craig got his ST Maxx's for in perth but my couple quotes in perth were ~$410 a tyre fitted.

long story short - save ~$500-600 AUD from the US... BUT wait 10 weeks to get them.
