....Simex are sold in the UK, seen a few on LR's, am I right in thinking they are an Australian brand? Tried to check on the web but the Simex site seems down, prices seemed very good when I last saw some for sale but that was a while ago.

I seem to remember that they are either Malaysian or Indonesian. - Could be wrong though.

I don't think "country of origin" matters so much these days. Good quality-control seems to be able to be achieved almost anywhere. (Similarly with poor quality control.)

Matt, nice write up, not bored at all, comp stuff is particularly interesting. I was wondering if the comps you enter are open or restrictive on the tire choice. Noticed a trend in the UK for comp rules not allowing the more agressive treads.

There are rules for tires, 1st is must have at least 50% contact pattern, no agricultural tractor tires. If I recall correctly the CCDA rules are 36" and 38" depending on class of event.
Most here run Simex or TSL Swampers, becoming popular the BFG Crawler but a few run other brands.

Simex is Malaysian.

More than welcome, I remember you pacing out side the car on your first stage at your first comp. Told you, do it once do it right and don't rush. It's been a ball.

Still can't believe we dragged your sorry ass through Eli Creek though:hillbilly:
