Damb Biatch, those some serious rubber. If they don't grip they'll eat through the rock.

Why did they cut every tread corner off. I thought the norm was to cut alternates for extra bite.

Look a little closer, they alternate up/down on the side lugs and left/right on the outer tread blocks

Not copying...they are all doing it better.
Especially Maxxis.
BTW...Merry Xmas Notty. What happened to the cocktail party at your place?

I believe that the the cutout corners at the tread-edge are designed
to allow the tyre to fold at low presure at this critical piont. Heavy luged
tyres usually get heaps of sidewall bulge to gain traction. Maxxis are
trying to think outside the square, asin the Creepy, the tread is
designed to flex and gain traction rather than an open sidewall.

Been running the 37" Trepadors for about 6 months now. I have run them in 3 comps and numorous play weekends, and the more I use them the better they seem to get. In comparison to the Creepy, I think they are a step ahead in all conditions. Feel totally different to the Creepy's, for they have a much more flexible sidewall, and the sidebitters really work well. Only recommended for offroad use for they are too soft to run on the streets.
We will have to see if we can get a set on Roctoys buggy, to find out how they perform compared to a full bodied rig like mine.
Cheers Brett
