    Thanks Drew
    I love the (like a few others said) The Maxxis All Trac's !!

    I run the standard size of 22X11X8. The few complaints I have is they get TOO GOOD of traction (made it almost all the way through that mudhole in a wheelie fashion, thanks All Tracs! ...well, and my skill ) sometime and are hard to get spinning when you want to get the SX sideways a bit but for your nature of riding (I'm accustom sort of from watching you) the AT's would be the hot ticket for you.

    This is my 3rd set, they wear like Iron and I never even came close to wearing any that I had out! The other two were on a trike and quad that I sold years ago. I never had a flat on any of them either and if I did, I bet you could STILL finish out the day with having a flat,they are that strong! I think they give a decent ride too.

    Also, they are directional tires, so you can run them either way.

    Motox track wise is the biggest negative for them and I'd rather have a 20" on with less bite but still wouldn't buy another set JUST to do the track at Haspin.

    ALSO .........note how the sidewall tread AND sidewall itself tends to bulge out a bit beyond the wheel which translates to being great wheel edge protectors from rocks and such.

    You can get them for about 50 bucks a piece or so.

    You'll be even more excited if you can foot the aluminum .190 Douglas. I'll bet it's another 40$ more than your steel rims. Give them a call and find out the difference, aluminum won't rust or bend like steel and make sure those tires have a tough sidewall.

    Here I hit branches and rocks all the time, two sets of tires ordered incorrectly have been sidewall lashed in one days riding - NO BS!! I always make sure to spend the extra 20$ and get XCR, R, EX or whatever dam suffix I have to add to the tire to insure I get a 6 ply sidewall. It's worth it to me....
