New water tire from Interco-made for skid steer machines

[LarryW]

Good point there maxrules. That is really bad they dont swim. Im sure its not cheap designing a tire. Best case might be that it works awesome on the dunes or mud and quad guys at least help sell some of the tires. And they try again. Sounds like a crap shoot though designing these tires.

You tried Good year rawhide tires on the Mudd-Ox , and said that the rawhide tires were faster in the water than the Aqua tire. Is the Aqua tire 50% as fast as a rawhide tire in the water or less than 50% as fast?

if everybody is looking for either goodyear terra grips or rawhides try a brand called ""Duro"" . Basically a rawhide copy .Tread pattern HF255

Tomo, I like the HF 255 as well, I just bought a set for one of the Max II's I have. The other has the rawhides on it and there really is no comparison that I can see. Chevron to chevron is not close enough in my mind. The lugs on a rawhide are about an inch wide with crooks that hook in for traction the HF 255 bars are maybe 1/2" wide and straight, not to mention the are very ply able. The tire is really soft too. In fact the HF 255's I got in the mail were so balled up when I got them I have been parking that machine with 7.5 lbs of air in each tire trying to stretch them straight every since. (Not a construction defect, poor shipping)

Please don't get me wrong I am not trashing the tire, it works and swims some, and I am just saying that there really is no comparison between the two that I would agree with other than the word chevron.

I for one am going to drop the cash to get a set of these Aqua's on that max II, it's worth a shot and if it swims anywhere as close to the Duro then at least the Interco tire comes with a layer of awesome sauce to go along with it. The Duro's look kind of lame sitting under there.

Also keep in mind, different tires react differently between machines, they may not be the cat's meow on mud ox or Argo but might end up sitting just right in the water under a MAX, or scrambler, you never know.

Now... where is that thread about stretching the tub to make the big'uns fit?

This is a very good point. My friend Lee had the 25x 12x 9 Maxis Mudbugs tires installed on his Argo Frontier , and I would,nt say that they swim , but they do paddle very slowly in the water with low throttle. My other friend Noel heated up the tub for clearance to fit these same tires on his Max II , and the Mudbugs gave the Max II a lot more buoyancy in deep water than the 22" inch rawhides that he took off.

Alex:


Bear claws on the front (they don't swim at all) Vampire TSL on the back, six 25x13.5x 9 vampires equal an approximate swim speed of 1 1/2 mph

could yall even imagine if the would only come out with a 22x11-8 for everyones machines i bet theyed make a killing hopefully they will come soon enough
