Big Tires that Swim Great!!??

[kghills]

Here are a couple pictures of 28x12x12 Duro Buffalo tires on my Max IV. Figured they qualified as big tires so I placed them in this thread.



They fit very well and ride like a dream at 2.5psi. I had a chance to take them in some gooey mud at the edge of the pond and they work as good as tires can be expected to work. They however DO NOT SWIM. They do have a ton of floatation and the Max was as stable as could be. In fact it was hard to rock it side to side. These are the tires I will be turning down to fit my 980 Hustler to go into Adair tracks. At least then they will swim.

For swimming and swimming only, you can't beat the 26" Goodyear Terra Tires. The Carlisle / Argo Frontier and Avenger tires would come in a close second.

Has anyone experimented with ATV sand tires? They have some NASTY paddles on them, seems like they may swim. If they work it would become a budget alternative in the 22"-24" range tire. Like the Kenda Gecko here, around $50 per rubber.

I would stat away from paddles, many parks do not allow those type of tires. With that big gap between lugs I don't think they would swim well.

There are a few threads on the site where people asked the same thing. They don't swim well at all and offer a horribly bumpy ride. Save your money.
