    swim in circles?

    i just got some more tires ready for my terra tiger (it only had 4 when i got it). problem is that i now have 4 left side tires and 2 rights. the guy i bought them from lied! i'm going to see if this thing really is amphibious or not in t-minus18 hours and some of the other tire posts i've read lead me to believe that i might swim in circles wit this set-up. am i right in thinking this? hopefully i hear something back before i have to learn another lesson the hard way
    thanks

    ? Can you not just remove the tire from the rim & flip it over. That would put the tire facing the correct direction! Not sure what tire you got, but as for mine it's all in how they are mounted!

      these are the original flotation type tires molded one peice onto the rim. the valve stem interfers with turning them around

          worked out ok. the terra tiger didn't take on a drop of water. i ended up with lefts on the left, and 1 left on the right front. it didn't turn right too well in water, but that could have been the wind. i won't go back in the lake without a troling motor anyway. if that was 4 mph i'll eat a flotation tire!

            I'm not sure it will make that big of a difference, but you may have to correct a little with the sticks to keep the machine going in a straight line.

              i douby that a tire will make it drive any better in water. i really just want them to be correct. it runs great on land but drives me nuts to know that i have a "wrong" tire on there

                You should be extremely happy that you didn't take on any water. That's awesome. Did you get my PM by the way?
