A frontier tire is so open, how could it clog. Unless you didn't spin it to clear it. A frontier can spin them into low obit. The idea of a rawhideIII not clogging up is I've spent many weekends looking at rawhides packed in Haspin Mud, if fact all kinds of tires packed on everyone's machine, where the tread pattern was unrecognizable. Just a wad of sticky clay/sand. All I can say is Jon Hoath, ex argo dealer, owned bigfoot, conquest, maxII, frontier.. and Al James, maxII, frontier, wouldn't want any other tire. John Schwab, MaxII, wants them, but not the issues of center of gravity and gearing, and $ I imagine. Or Brandon Price, lifetime max supporter, couldn't say enough good about them. I can see why people might prefer something else, but knocking the tire when you havn't driven it.. you might be too quick to judge. The ride quality alone is major.. and traction.. the way they flex and wrap, that's a lot of "suspension", more tire and rubber contact.
Well let's see. I named 3 people who've rode on rawhides and wouldn't go back, and Gregg from here with the red II, he's not going back to rawhides.. what do they know anyway. Oh they ride on argo tires.. maybe that's it.
