I think I may go Malatesta Kaimen as the side walls do look better.
Hurry up payday!

non re molds i have been looking at mickey thompson baja claws tc and cooper st t both seem very good but just maybe not quite aggressive enough :-/

decision decisions lol i think im going to go with the recips, eventually when i take the plunge lol


As you have a 6.5:1 transfer box, you can easily go with 31" special tracks :)
But really no reason to go bigger.


What do you think of the recips?

Not a very used design. No matter if it's Maxxis Mudzilla or other copies. Probably a reason for that ;-)

I'd still get the Special Tracks :)

So let design over function decide what tyre to get ??

They're probably okay.
But why choose an old inferior design when you, for the same money can have much better tyres.

The Maxxis Mudzilla tyres have been around for ages, but no one uses them anymore.

The Mudzilla are by the way very much inspired (copied) by the Mickey Thompson Baja Claw.
