The new Argo 24" Frontier tire

[jpswift1]

Lets talk about the new Argo 24" Frontier tire here. Judging by the videos this tire is really really fast in the water. I know that Dan R ordered a set but Im not sure if he has them on his Max II yet. Im very excited to see these things in person. Here are some pics at this link.

I would love to try a set of those on mine too. I think I have to move the exhaust to the rear though. They do look really fast in the water.

what makes them faster? bigger "lugs"?

[jpswift1]

Well I think they are make the machine move faster in water because they have a closed tread design. This makes the treads act like paddles which will propel the vehicle much better than say knobby ATV tires. I will have to talk to Dan R soon and see how deep the treads are on these tires. I always thought that maybe some using sand paddle tires for really good water performance.

Well I just got back from copper ridge with my max iv with 24" fronteir tires, and the ride is awsome, they are great in the mud and water.

Awesome! That's great news. Was there anything that you didn't like about them?

Also, since you had the 26" ones before can you tell a difference in water speed between them or is it about the same?

I'm asking because I took the Max IV with the 26" tires out in a big lake this weekend and I was reminded again how fast the 26" tires are compared to my Max II's 21" ones.

Egoperf,

I love the water speed of the new Argo Frontier 24" tires, but I don,t think they will work well in the dark,thick,slimy, slick, gumbo mud we have in Louisiana. I also wonder about the long term durabilty of the Frontier tires since they are softer 2 ply tires, and that is what makes them ride so good.
