There is a trade off when ever you reverse the direction that the tires were made to run on an amphib. When facing them with the V-shaped pattern forward or in the traction position ,, you'll loose water speed , but gain more mudding ability. Bigbird is a large man and with the engine and transmission near the front of the tub, the rear of his 8x8 comes slighly out of the water. This gives his Argo 8x8 a paddle wheel effect in the water. At the Humphrey amphib event that used to be held each year in New York ,an Argo Avenger set the fastest water speed with 8 Terra tires that had the V-shaped pattern facing backwards.
