Noob with questions

[MaximusII]

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?

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

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.

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

[MaximusII]

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?

tires for maximusii

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.

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.

tires.....

WOW!! they sure look like Wooley buggers.........

I just bought 6 of Duro Mud and Sand 22x11x8 from ATV Parts, ATV Tires, Dirt Bike Parts & Motocross Gear - Rocky Mountain ATV/MC for $37.00 each with free shipping and they work great in the mud and they have good reviews they do not swim very well [ATTACH]2052[/ATTACH]

tires for maximusii

Welcome aboard Maximus

This is just my 2 cents: RDR has a Max with the standard factory tires, whatever they are. On 2 occasions we have had them in the water where we could really let them rip and see what was what. I have a 06 Avenger and i can not hold a candle to Robbie's machine in the water. I though he had a outboard hidden on it somewhere

While at Busco he did the same thing. My opinion: for a factory tire his machine has excellent swimming ability. I don't know the size or cost of his factory tires but the plain and simple of it is, his machine is fast in the water.

Brandon has his home page listed in his profile MaxRules

[MaximusII]

You could take a peek at the videos on Brandon's web site. Might decide that a trolling motor is a waste of time because the frontier tires are so fast in the water,and light and soft riding....

Hey, where is brandon's site? I am unfamiliar with this guy. (remember I am new to the forums. )

[MaximusII]

those may be perfect since I will have the trolling motor for water propollution. Thanks for sharing!
