I had been considering doing exactly that for some time now. I enjoy making custom tires. What do you think of them? Have you noticed a difference crawling the same lines? I was also considering dremeling/cutting new grooves into the Rock Claws and see if it helped any. Nice work on the tires

I am impressed. They seem to dig and climb steep faces, smooth or sharp rocks, much easier.. They just grab and go..

I went a head and made a set to try out after reading this thread. I haven't mounted them yet, but will once I fix a couple broken parts on my rig. Here's a side by side comparison of mine;

Use some good glue like IC-2000 (black rubberized CA) and you won't have any problems.
