Totally impressive! Those tires really compliment that very capable machine. Good to see the beast back in the movies again.

How do these compare with the Vampire ASXs you ran back in the day?

They ride 60% better then the ASX, They weigh 10 pounds less then an ASX mounted on a rim, I believe they would outperform an ASX or any other mud tire in pure mud because they stay on top of the mud and don't dig down, they are easier to turn and a lot easier on the bearings and chains, they out climb an ASX or anything else I have seen, when I was pushing bush in swampy muddy vegetation the Vendettas provided traction and pushed through trees and brush, I believe the ASX would have dug down into to mud and high centered the machine immediately.


also: Cypress knees and tree stumps under the water are nothing but traction for Adair tracks, I had forgotten that every thing under the water becomes a major concern when you are playin in a swamp area with tires.

Nice review Dan. I can't access the video for some reason though. It's 8 deg F here this morning so I can't do any swimming. I was wondering if you had a chance if you could throw your spacers on and try swimming. I have noticed that the water gets thrown to the sides with these tires and was wondering if with the tires mounted close to the body if it is unable to escape. Just a thought. Looks like I will drop from 3psi to 1.5. Thanks for the tip.

Keith, I had spacers that totaled 1.75 inches, the tires were well away from the tub, one thing I didn't consider was air pressure, I was only running 1 1/2 psi. I'll try again with a little more air next time but I believe it's got a lot to do with the width of the tire and the water not spinning off the middle like a narrower tire.

I forgot to say in the review, they pull out of mud holes, not as well a Adair tracks but better then any tire I have had on the max. Also, one of the main issues, they are so wide that if you get high centered you can rock the machine, grab traction on one side and pull off the rut, I have never been able to get off of high centers with any other tire I had on the Max

Great video Dan. You really put your Max IV through some swampy conditions. Thank you for posting a video so quickly. Maybe you are correct about the amount of straight bar for swimming. If it ever warms up here I will give it a test. I am running 4" spacers if I remember correctly. I have always run 3psi also. I'm heading out to cut cut some wood and am going to try 1.5psi and see how that rides. Are you going to take your Max to Busco this year?

You know Keith now that I think of it a little more air in the tires would probably make a great difference in water speed, I had an air pump with me but I was enjoying the soft ride so much I didnt want to spoil it with more air. Next time 5 psi.
I do plan to be at Busco this year, I will probably bring the tires and my Adair tracks.

I have the 26x14x12 Vendetta on my Hustler 980. they swim almost as fast as terra gripps at 5psi. They do throw water and I had to slow it down because I was throwing water back up into the rear deck screen. I took on allot of water before I realized what I was doing. Fmints had me on film for a bit...

I missed that footage somehow, looks like there were several high-performance machines in attendance. Those Vendettas perform very well. Dan your machine was really trucking across the pond.

I did everything I could think of to it to play mobile and had no luck, I am open for suggestions.

Alright, I spend the day with Norm, Karen, Fred and Derek at the Big Nasty and I managed to get the Max shod with the 16 vendettas tires though every nasty mud hole and area we could find. The performance of the Vendettas in soft mud with very little water was outstanding. I ran the tires with a little more then 5 PSI this time and my swim speed picked up dramatically, my best guess would be over three mph. Here is some video of our punishing trail ride.

That looked to be an AWESOME ride. Fred, Karen and everyone did great. Thanks for the great video Dan.

Well with all the talk about the new 16" Vendetta tires I thought I'd try a set. The first thing I noticed was the smooth ride compared to the Good Years. Despite the wide width they seemed to skid steer nice as well. They're a little slower in the water but the added stability made up for it. They moved along nice at quarter throttle. My trip to Mudd Ox to get these was fun too. Matt took time out of his busy day to show me the factory and his collection of relics. Pretty impressive to see so many makes and models in one place. We took a spin in an ox too, Matt claimed that this was part of his job for the day but I'm not so sure lol. All in all I'm happy with the tires and just wanted to give my opinion. Hope this helps.
