|  my experiment with stock ax10 tires...
in the rear tires I used no foam, I work in a bicycle shop so I added a bit of stans tubeless sealant before locking the beads down, I have the weekend offa work so I'm going to test it out. Will include a couple pics when I update this. Cheers |

I know money can be tight but any aftermarket tire (badlands, rock claws, panthers, flat irons, mashers, moabs, etc...) is better than any highly modified Lizard with custom foams and custom tread. The rubber compound on the Lizards is designed for wear and longevity, not grip.

You are right I am finding this out for myself. I just broke down and bought a set of hammer m2 and can not wait until they come in. I am tired of trying to make my stoke lizards work.

not sure of your terrain, but I think you'll love those hammers. In all honesty the lizards aren't that bad......until you try a hammer or the like.

The lizards are bad for crawling and climbing. Your better off starting with something that has the correct compound. The right tool for the right job....you wouldn't put a 10spd tire on a downhill bike, and you wouldn't put a gazzalodi 3.0 on the 10spd. If your rock racing maybe the lizards are fine, for crawling however they are absolute garbage. |

I dont care what any one says depending on your terrain, there is nothing wrong with lizard tires. I personally don't use them because I DON'T think there the very best tire out there. but they aren't as bad as people make them out to be. If you don't think lizard tires are for you try the R compound lizard tire its between a m2 and m3 and have plenty of grip. Put the new rock carvers and the rock lizards side by side and use the m2 carvers and r compound lizards the lizards will do just as well. Hell they almost look a like.

Stans in any tube on a rim without an air hole/vent will just aid in sealing. Anyhow, it was ok, got some decent grip with them. I just picked up some Proline Hammers with memory foams.... |

the sealant wasnt needed. the beadlocks hold the air just fine if you dont drill holes in the rim
