hi John
I might be interested in your tires and wheels, can you send me a PM on what you are looking at getting for them? I am not far from you and it might give me the "excuse" to stop buy...and what offset are they as I am thinking of building some channels for myself.
thanks

Add me to the list John if he doesnt take them, i could use the rims.

Hi - I bought channel tracks last year and have used in multiple scenarios. Here is my feedback - easy to install, works well in mud, zero movement on water. They grip very well to go up or down a steep hill. If I had the budge I wold have purchased Adair tracks because of their capability to move the argo on water. I never owned rubber tracks but comparing to plastic tracks the Channel tracks are extremely heavy.

From a construction perspective they seem unbreakable.

If you do alot of mudding in thick mud they will work great. But in soupy/soft mud it will not move the argo.

thanks for the report nicolas ...i think guys buy a certain type of tracks depending on : probably budget first and then what type of terrain will they be used in most of the time . adairs seem to be a fairly good all around track . the channels are definately built well and i hope they work out great for you . johnboy va.
