OTTSIX SCHISM questions answered

1. When will the site be up? In a few weeks, perhaps less.

2. What sort of rig were they designed for? This tire was designed for both crawler and rigs like the Wraith.

3. How does it work for both? The tire was designed with micro lugs between the main lugs. The micro lugs where specifically placed there to add stability (which they do), at speed, on Wraith's and like minded rigs. For crawling, with this medium soft compound, I suggest that you snip out some or most of the micro lugs to give more room to catch edges.
I run mine snipped in front and stock in the rear (moa):




4. Do you have a softer compound in the works? YES! I'm working with the engineers at the factory on a very soft synthetic rubber compound (it's expensive, so be forewarned)...this compound will be proprietary to Ottsix. If all goes well, we'll take delivery by mid summer.

5. Are the tires directional? Yes, well, sort of. I designed a few of the main lugs to have a slight angle to them. The idea was to allow the rig to DIG more efficiently. If you turn the tire around, you'll get full traction.

6 Can I buy them now? Yes...PM me.

7. Do you have any more tires in the works? Yes, we're working on a strictly crawling tire. I'll let you know when it's nearing completion
I'll also be running a "win it before you can buy it" promotion when the CAD work is done, so watch for that.

8. What are the specs? Mounted on a 1" wheel: 2.4" x 5.6"



I'd like to say thank you all very much for your overwhelming show of support for my new venture!

Very cool! It is good to see more tires on the market.

A few questions.....

How does the carcass thickness compare to other tires out there? Since it's closest match appears to be a Rover, how does it compare to that tire?

How much does an untrimmed, unsiped tire weigh (no foam)?

x1 Ill like to know how much do they weight.

Those lugs looks mad

[vodka child]

any more thoughts on dates for the new, softer compound tyre? I'm really looking for that before pulling the trigger on an order for a full set.

Rig is being stripped down for a full rebuild and chassis update, so now is the right time for some new tyres to

I'm keeping an eye on your website for it to be live to

Just out of curiosity is contacting you directly the only way to buy these or the new voodoo tires when they are out?
