swimming in open water vs vegetation??

[john1edwards]

I used to have a max iv with factory 26x12-12 good years the tires went super, swam good ran mud well. I am here in florida and run some deep water with some vegatation. I am now running a max iv with the rawhide III 25 x12-9, good ride compared to 26x 12 but do not go as good. i have been considering going to a 26x12 origianal tire or the carlise true power 26x 12. I have been told it swims good but ride better than original. or the vampire esx. I know that swimming in plane water such as a lake is different than in some of the vegetation.

The Vampire ASX should be eliminated for anything requiring water performance. It will disappoint you there. The Tru Power will swim like the Goodyears (great) and give a slightly better ride. As long as you have beadlock (k-lock) wheels, you should be able to air them down very low for a better ride.

Thanks for that reply mike.

I got some Tru power tires. They really swim well. And seem to really go good in general.

Sweet. It's hard to beat the water speed they offer.

The tru powers ride better than the Goodyears.
