MuddOx tires

[mudslinger]

Has any MuddOx owner tried squeezing the 26" Goodyear Super Terra Grip tire onto an Ox now that the 25" Goodyear is no longer available from Goodyear? They do a great job of swimming when the Max IV is wearing them, just wondered if anyone tried them yet on the Beast.

They fit. Matt is having a custom tire made just for the ox with the same tread pattern and size. He did say they would ride nicer though If you want some, give him a shout, they should be ready anytime now.

Thanks Jim. Any idea how fast they will propel the Ox in the water?

[thebuggyman1]

I really don't know. That's a good question for Matt though. For all I know, he hasn't even tested a set out yet. He did say he dug his pond out bigger though, and I bet he'd let you test them out before buying them. Are your rawhides worn out, or are you just looking for more water speed?

[mudslinger]

It was just a general question not specific to me.

When I spoke to Matt regarding his tires, he indicated they will be a pretty good swimming tire.

I have a Mudd Ox with the 25" Rawhide IIIs on it. I've got some 26" Max IV tires also, I'll see if I can get some time to put them on and try it out.

I talked with Matt and he is still on track to debut his new tires at Ashtabula.

From what I am hearing the tires will be 26" in diameter. They will be a Mudd Ox branded tire with a really cool Mudd Ox lable on them. They will also be on a 12" rim. If I understand correctly it will be a rim Matt is having made with his awesome bead lock like his Mudd Ox 9" bead lock rims. They are supposed to cost much less than the Argo tires. They should swim really well and are also designed to work really well in tracks. Even though Matt has his own rubber tracks for the Mudd Ox, Matt has talked with Tim at Adair Argo about the new tires and how they will work really well in the Adair tracks. I believe Matt said "Tim will love them". Even though the official debut is to be at Ashtabula, the tires will be at the Mudd Ox Mecca before then, and if a guy would happen to show up there with say his Hustler Bigfoot and Max IV and accidentally put them on and sort of drive out into Matt's new pond, some videos of this might just sort of accidentally get posted on this thread somehow.

The mold is warming up and the first tires will be trued within the hour. Just a hunch.

aaah! Tease....

To bad they are going to be for a 12" wheel. Buying tires is bad enough,I would hate to buy a heavy 12" wheel also.I know Max IV's have ran them for years,but I dont like not having much of a sidewall to flex,and if it does you are probably running them with 0 air pressure.

Matt is working very hard to ensure that his new tires will ride and swim well. It is my understanding that to have them made here in the US 12" was his only financially feasible option. The first one came off at 26 3/8" in diameter. 26x14x12 Mudd-Ox tires...oops I probably should not have posted that.
