From my experience, the Duratrax Deepwoods and Showdown were at the top of the performance list.

I discovered that the compound is 80% of the tire's performance over the tread pattern. Therefore, these will be good performers if they are the same compound as the tires mentioned above.

I'll run the same test on these tires and post my results.

the thing with tires there are so many variables to weather a tire will work or not if you change rigs the results will change the temps change the tire results will change change terrain the resaults will change

since no 2 rigs are exsacly the same differnt rigs will work best with differnt tires in differnt terrain

I tested the tires during a wide temperature swing (here in Maine) on a variety of surfaces (took and shared a video of the test area). The feedback I received from the reviews was all positive and corroborated.

But, yes, no two rigs are the same. But the results changed using the same vehicle in the same test area. The Capra is a known performer, and I did not change one variable.

Anyway, the point is I'd put good money on this tire being a performer if the tire compound is the same as the other two.

your video viewers might think thats a good test but it tells me nothing your capra is sych a different rig than anything i run to me theres no value in thise tests and if it works on a 1/10 scale rig dosent mean squat when talking about micros there so different what works for 1 wont work for the other



im not saying your wrong just what works for you on your capra were you live dosent mean it will work on someone elses rig who lives somewere else or on a micro

You're missing out on the scientific method of testing.

Alas, I have everything from a 2-lb belly-dragger to a 14-lb brassed out 2.2 on giant axles to test on, and the results are generally the same.

Compound matters most. Wet and slick rock here in Maine, or the Rock Pirates' crew on dry Moab rocks - I was told the results were the same in most cases.

I had dozens of comments and DM corroborating the test results.

As for micro, I have no interest in those.

Back to the thread subject: this will likely be a performer if the compound is the same as their other 1.9s. I'll add it to the arsenal and give them a try.

I'm afraid I have to disagree, and your argument is moot and off-topic.

I put in an order for these tires this morning. I can't wait to try them out.

im joking of course enjoy your new tires

Hop on over to my Instagram where I posted my notes and the subsequent comment*s* :lmao:

I reviewed both the Approach and Deep Woods. I haven't posted in a while, but I'll restart with this tire.
