Thanks fellas.

I am running the stock foams but I shortened them about a half an inch to get an air gap. They work great, right in line with Claws and Cougars. The best part about them is sidehilling.

Like the video. Tires look like they hook up pretty good.

You think the tread height is tall enough to get good traction on all terrian types?

I have driven on jagged and slick rock and the tread height has worked great. IMO the short tread height keeps the lugs from folding over.

Thanks for the compliments!

As for the foams, the stock ones are way too hard. I have tried Rover foams and they improved the tires alot. I just switched to a set of all weather squats in the front and all weather reach's in the back and they are even better. I may even run these as my comp tire now. The compound is about the best I've seen and the height of the tires really helps with axle clearance.

I watched a set of these in action at a comp last week on some wet steep jagged rock in the rain and was very impressed
