LOL

I been thinking (front first) ><>, so middle is backwards. Seems at first part of the climb the weight goes to the rear and then the fronts get airborn over the top of hill but then it gets stuck there alot. So Im thinking the middles need to bite more. The rears already would have alot because of the weight and front is in air so that leaves the middle. But I still need to experiment too.

I run two Vampires in front with the V's forward. As can be expected they pull really, really well coming out of the water or anywhere else! Those are the same rims that I run and you can run the pressure low and you will not break a bead. I lost air once when I hit a stump going about 15 mph, but other than that they will stand up to just about as much abuse as you can give them, and wonder why you are not dishing out more.

I run my 26" tires at 1/2lb. and have no problems with the bead. and the ride is much better

Hey Lance, Good news about the new rims, they will get the ultimate test soon! I have been running my rawhide 22s in the traction position for a couple of years now. The bite is certainly better in the mud, and since I rarely swim it is not an issue. I run my center tires flat, and just a quick spurt of air in the corners, about one pound. Works for me!!

Roger this pattern worked best for me on my max when I was running six swamp foxes < > < This pattern gave me the best control and water speed. Since I added four Vampires I lost that control since the vampires throw a lot of water to the side, now I control it by leaning left or right. Matt O' was able to get the best water speed with Vampires like so < > < > You also get traction both ways with this set up!

[liflod]

Running the front tires with the V for traction killed my water speed and I don't think it really helped any where else. I changed them back to stock and I'm leaving them that way. I'd rather have the traction backing out of a stuck situation anyway.
