I reckon as an all round tyre the Mashers are pretty good. They cling to smooth rocks and are also self cleaning in mud and sand.

I run the swamp dawgs on my BB-51 scaler in all types of terain, mud, snow, rock, dirt..... Mine are mounted to double narrowed pede fronts with no foams and I took a new razor blade to each tread block to "sipe" them. The sipping really helped the grip on the rocks! Also they like a little bit of wheelspeed.

I have the Novak crawler setup in that rig, geared 87/ 12 to 87/ 20. I switch it up for different types of wheelin' I also ran those tires with a 55t, evx w/ 3 cell lipo. The best thing about the Swamp Dawgs is they "Bark" on the rock like real tires do on slickrock!
