All I know is Whipper & I are neither mudders or swimmers & Robbie's Max IV got us thru everything we went thru & some of it was not pretty. & it swam just fine.
After watching a lot of different people drive in deep mud, I'm not entirely convinced that one particular tire is any better than another really. But it is fun listening to guys dicker about tires. I still think the line you take or the deeper ruts you dig out for yourself really affects whether you'll have a succesful outcome. If you hi-center your machine, everyone knows that you won't be going anywhere.
Mike T is going to update everyone on these tires & hopefully they will meet his expectations. That would be cool.

If I had,nt read what the forum member " Moike " said about these tires , I,d assume that they would,nt swim , but , Moike says they do. This would be great, since the rawhide tires are now getting hard to find.
I think that's the post I saw that got me curious..I would have though they wouldnt swim that well either, but I noticed the "dogleg" in the cleats, I think maybe that's what grabs the water? Can't wait to find out.

Yes , you and a lot of other folks on this forum too , I,d imagine . MightymaxIV and myself have both found out that when using non- amphibious tires such as those commonly used on most atv,s , its the outer shape of the lugs on the atv tire used ,that determines how well it swims. MightymaxIV, Mike , Fulleraviation ,Don ,Jpswift , and myself use the ASX tires, and are more concerned with the additional traction that an aggressive mud tire provides ,than fast water speed. If you fall in this category, then the Jackal, atv tire might be the right choice for you.
Thanks for the heads up on the price "Mike T". Looked on e-bay and they stated that they only had two left. Sent the company an email and they had seven on the floor. Price is the same as you paid. They have a website motorheadzone.com which advertises free shipping on orders over $200. Asked about free shipping and that would be on regular price $70 something tires. Not complaining! Service was great by e-mail. I called the phone listed a few times but no one answered. Like you said, we will see when they get here.
hey miket, just wondering if you've been able to test out these tires yet and if so howd they perform for you? im sure there's plenty of other members along with me anxious to find out how this tires perform
& it swam just fine.
