ok so i got ITP mudlites for my maxII and found out the hard way they dont swim so now i want tires that do so before i buy anymore i figured ill ask on here first i was looking at cheng shin lumberjack tire do you think these will swim rather than being a sitting duck

Hydromike had the Lumberjack tires on his Attex. They don't swim, but they do ride well and offer good traction. There is a picture of his machine with Joe H's green Attex in a creek at Ledges and he had to get pushed back to shore because the tires wouldn't swim. I can't seem to find the picture though.

i think your tires swim good enough not to worry about it i mean after all how much time are you going to spend in deep water vs mud

I have tried mud lites on my Max II, mounted backward of the convertional way (the way anphib. tires are mounted). I found that they only move the Max when it is at at an idle or just above an idle, and they go at at a steady crawling speed. Any more throttle and they stand still or start to move sideways.
I did not try reversing the tires, but the Max didn't seem any better in reverse. Which way did you have them mounted?

i had my tires backward the same way you had them i didnt try idle speed i was going full throttle im going to try putting the tires on the right way (the direction they are supposta be) and try that for now if its a still no go im getting something else
