      tires

      Hi Lewis,was the Max that RDR was driving a maxii or a maxiv? The stock 26" tires from RI on a max iv are in my opinion the fastest tires in the water. I love them and they are tough. Everybody agrees that they ride hard and knowledgeable guys like Dan Edwards say Vampires and others are better in some kinds of mud . The above 26ers don't fit a Maxii but the 24 inch Frontiers do fit according to Brandon Price.and they ride a lot better and are lighter. They are expensive,but might save the price of an elec. motor

      Robbie has a Max IV. That machine is disgustingly fast in the water.
      Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"

        Hey guys, I called Richards Relics and asked him about a few tires. 812-944-1643


        Whom ever I spoke with highly discouraged me from changing tires from anything but the factory Rawhide III or a knock off of them like they sale. The guy I spoke with said these tires are the best tires for this unit and work the best in all applications. The only problem I have is $60+ per tire. I know thats not a lot for a tire but when you can buy the "woolie booger knock off" ATV Parts, ATV Tires, Dirt Bike Parts & Motocross Gear - Rocky Mountain ATV/MC for $37.00 each that itdc1 brought up, its hard not to purchase those.

        I think what I may do is just purchase two innertubes to put into my two bad tires and put my trolling motor on it and fly throught the water.

          Do what you want.Freedom is great. But be aware that as Richards relics said, any tire that is not designed for AATV use will probably not propel you in the water. Tubes are not great in low pressure tires because of problems with the tire slipping around the rim and tearing the valve stem. good luck and best wishes

            So do you suggest I get two new rawhides and keep going?

              I'd go with replacement tires intended for your Max. Rawhide IIIs do the job, perform well, and last a long time.

                I recently called Richard Clark at Route 6x6, and he says the 25" rawhide III,s are no longer being made. He also said he had two 25 inchers left in stock , and could not get any more. Has any one heard about this?

                  Yes, that is true. Goodyear is no longer going to make the Rawhide III's.

                  Edit: Here's a link to that discussion from a while back http://www.6x6world.com/forums/tire-...awhide-3s.html

                  I'm moving discussion on the end of the rawhides to that thread. Please continue that discussion there.

                    That is true. He told me the exact same thing. BUT!, I just called my local goodyear dealer and they told me that they ordered some a while back and they think they can still get some. The lady at the location is going to call me back with detail if they can get them and howmany possible. I inquired the following sizes. 22x11x8 and 25x11x8.

                    **UPDATE**
                    The lady I spoke with said they are hard to get and somewhat scarse. Since they are, I would have to pay full price for them and shipping cost. They are being shipped in form St. Louis MO to Southeast Arkansas. The cost of them would be $95.00/tire. :O
