Now plowboys for the super.....

The really weird part it I was running my AX-10 CG-2 and 2nd through 4th was OCM/bergs........who would of thunk I had them covered my 27 points....

You trying to say something.......... Great job Joey!!!!

Yeah I was really impressed with the tires. At first I was sort of skeptical about them cause you know how some people push a product that really aint all that good

but these things .... WOW!!!!

There was one climb that the panthers walked that no other 2.2 with claws could make

They are so soft, but some how those suckers just grab. And for all the retards that think they suck at sidehilling, grab a pair and run them, they did really good on sidehilling too

rockwerks · 06-01-2008, 07:35 AM

I ran them this weekend and they performed well, (better than I did) I was able to walk through some things that others had issue with. I was running a hybrid foam in the front and moab narrowed foams in the rear

joesbruiser · 06-01-2008, 10:26 AM

The panther tires are for sure a step above the rest.

The set i run this weekend and placed second with at the SERCRC event needed to have a little stiffer foam in them but still worked really well.

The thing i like the most is the thin carcass. It really allows the tire to be tuned to fit terrain and driving style. And the super sticky compound is a big plus to

I was running the stock Panther Memory foams and it seemed to work well, but I was also running a shafty...

I will need to do more testing before I change anything.

I like them on the VF wheels .

PINKY · 06-01-2008, 05:42 PM

I managed to take 3rd place at a local comp today on the red dot softs. I was running all stock foams with virtually no weight. They gripped like no other on my ol' broke down AX-10

so you were using the stock soft tires with the stock memory foam.

any weight in the front or wheel tires? you using aluminum or plastic rims.

thanks

skullking · 06-01-2008, 06:38 PM

These Tires are BAD A$$!! They grip like no other. I had to start using the slipper cause at a slow crawl on hard spots, like verts they would grip like fingers I could feel them pulling and I ripped out my driveshaft from the tranny. WhhOOOW It was awesome!!

Still running stock foams waiting untill the stiffer ones are in stock again then I will test those in just the back.

rockwerks · 06-01-2008, 08:55 PM

During our comp on Saturday one of the gates was places on a vertical wall after a pile of loose rubble rock. as I approached the gate the rubble shifted with my car on them taking the rig off line to the side and nearly off the lower ledge. As the rig hit solid rock they stuck, Saving me a roll over

The Panthers allowed me to basically sidewall up this section on an angle to get back on line and made this climb look easy. Afterwards I tried it with a rig set up with the losi's and could not even get off of the bottom ledge. Im pleased with the tires performance

Yes stock soft tires and stock memory foams.

On CreataCrawler Sinner2 with .....~5½ ounces of weight in each front

joesbruiser · 06-02-2008, 06:45 AM

Hey RX did you have any sidebite issues because of the lack of side tread?

tat2INDY · 06-02-2008, 08:29 AM

had a chance to them yesterday , at a comp , me and one other member had them, they were incredible, they held on everything , i broke on 2 courses , but the other member took first place. no need for any other tire . a stiffer rear foam would make these perfect

TURBOFEST · 06-02-2008, 08:51 AM

well...I'm that "other member" I was able to take these tires...untested...and do very well with them to take a first place in our GSRCRC comp. These tires are very very nice. They are very grippy with good lug strength. They dont have any sidebiters and i had reservation about it until I drove with them. No need for them. I love the extra 1/4" of height these tires provide over Claws and although they have a very soft sidewall, with the right foam choices they sidehill as good if not better than any other tire out there. I'm sold on these and they will stay on my rig for the rest of the season. Great Job Panther!!!!

heres a vid of my panthers (black/silver rig) w/5oz in front and 3oz in rear and my buddies on hammers (green/blue rig)

sddill · 06-02-2008, 10:03 AM

The only thing that that video shows is you need more belly clearance

..Not a very good vid for comparing tires....
