depends what your terrain is what the weather is what rig you have and what you use your rig for mostly like trail ride/mud running/high speed hill climbs like formula offroad but it all depends.................

If you are talking about climbing vertical faces on solid rock, get Mashers in whatever size is appropriate to your truck.

If that's not the case, you need to tell us about your rig and about where you want to run it.

although if it's dry then the moabs are said too outperform the mashers.

Mashers, Masher 2k's, Moabs, LST's, Claw Dogs, and, my fave,


Losi Zombie Max's...

I've used Moab's before and now on my 2.2... The Zombies I use on my Clod on Maximizer offset beadlocks with the pins shaved off, no foam and a small amount of AirSoft BB's... I go where Moabs, RedRocks, Mashers and all them go and some places they can't... They're great when warm, SUPER sticky and don't wear HALF as much as any other I've seen used for crawling.. They work when it's wet and muddy.. They sorta work when it's cold and wet, but will still do better than most others...

The only drawbacks is they have no sidewall and are rather low profile... Altho' the sidewall issue hasn't come up yet 'cos the tires will just move around anyways and fake a sidewall... The lower profile also takes away a fair bit of ground clearance... But if you have any kind of tenacity, you can get into all kindsa places with the slightly lower GC... Just need a slightly heavier trigger finger...

I got some Beadlocks with mashers on them already in the for sale section just search my name and you should find it. They are not the 40 series though. Beads are Imex I think. Still alot of tread left.

Id have to say Mashers. They float over soft terrain better (especially sand) . Moabs sink in sand.
my 2 cnts.
