frontier tires

[thejunkman]

Anyone running the 24" frontier tires on their max 2 or 4?? and was it worth the money or to go with matts rims and 25" rawhides?

There were a few members on the site running the 24" Frontier tires on their Max II. Hey_Dan 78 was one of them. They have a very soft sidewall (which punctures and gives very easily....especially on hard turns). The Frontier tires make the Max II much more tipsy and unstable. I know of several occasions where Max IIs have flipped sideways because of them. I'd say go with the 25" Rawhide III. Mike and Mark M. run these and they're a much better option in my opinion, even though you have to heat/reform the tub slightly.

Brandon (MaxRules) ran them on a Max II, and was very impressed with the performance.

You might want to drop him a pm and see what his overall thoughts are again. I had not heard that the Frontier tires were too soft or caused the machine to be dangerous. That almost sounds like the old Runamucks.

If you don,t want to heat the lower tub or change out the sprockets on the T-20 out put shafts , the 22" inch Frontier tire might be the tire for you.

I think you are right i just wanted to go a little bit bigger without having to change gearing and rim size
