we'll see how they do..but for $269 shipped (for Six) the price is hard to beat. They have to be better than my worn slick runamucks....

For the most part they will be for mud anyway...but i've heard they swim at least as good as Rawhides. Time will tell. I'll post an update when I get them mounted.

Like I said time will tell. I'm anxious to try 'em. At that price, it won't be a terrible loss if they won't swim. As it is I have almost NO traction in mud right now, and very little in water. Last time out it would not pull itself out of the water to climb even a moderate bank.
It would be nice if they are here by the weekend. Of course I have all six axles sitting on the floor in my shop tonight, finally doing the chains, bearings and seals thing, but the hard part is over, removing the rusted bearings with the stripped out allen bolts.
The top secret place I bought them was Ebay....They are 22x11x8, sellers name is Motorheadzone..34.95 ea. plus 59.00 to ship six. He had 11 in stock at the time, but I'd think he could get more, I emailed him and told him the quantity I needed. Seemed to be good to deal with so far but not sure how quickly they'll get here. Thats the scoop!

All I know is Whipper & I are neither mudders or swimmers & Robbie's Max IV got us thru everything we went thru & some of it was not pretty.
& it swam just fine.
After watching a lot of different people drive in deep mud, I'm not entirely convinced that one particular tire is any better than another really. But it is fun listening to guys dicker about tires. I still think the line you take or the deeper ruts you dig out for yourself really affects whether you'll have a succesful outcome. If you hi-center your machine, everyone knows that you won't be going anywhere.
Mike T is going to update everyone on these tires & hopefully they will meet his expectations. That would be cool.

If I had,nt read what the forum member " Moike " said about these tires , I,d assume that they would,nt swim , but , Moike says they do. This would be great, since the rawhide tires are now getting hard to find.

I think that's the post I saw that got me curious..I would have though they wouldnt swim that well either, but I noticed the "dogleg" in the cleats, I think maybe that's what grabs the water? Can't wait to find out.

Yes , you and a lot of other folks on this forum too , I,d imagine . MightymaxIV and myself have both found out that when using non- amphibious tires such as those commonly used on most atv,s , its the outer shape of the lugs on the atv tire used ,that determines how well it swims. MightymaxIV, Mike , Fulleraviation ,Don ,Jpswift , and myself use the ASX tires, and are more concerned with the additional traction that an aggressive mud tire provides ,than fast water speed. If you fall in this category, then the Jackal, atv tire might be the right choice for you.

Yes, I still remember spending two hours getting mine out of the soupy marsh behind my house, hopefully I'll have better results next time.1993 Argo vanguardComment
