In my opinion the beat all kill all paddle tire. They are basicly a slick with kevlar scoops adheared to them. Except the scoops don't run all the way across the tire. The are staggered. Do a search on the web. But if you can't get traction with those in the mud you might as well pick a different hobby. Anyway, just a sick *** paddle tire.

damn straight rubber 
, wish i had the power to turn a set of them tires (i watched a rail with 2500hp run a set of those front and back, i think he touched the mud 3 times then launched about 25ft out the other end of the pit).

And if your talking about the tire groover I used for shaping, and finishing work then fishy gave a good link there, you can also find them on evilbay, or anyplace that sells to the stockcar or sprint car guys a lot.

Well I got the tires done as much as I am gonna this year. Got the new gears in, and put the tires on tonight, even after I chopped a full coil out of my rear springs this sucker still sits high in the rear kinda wondering if I shouldn't jake it back up, and take another coil out but I don't want to drop it so far I run out of shock travel under compression, and don't hve time to rebuild the shock mounts even if I was so inclined since those shocks are going away over the winter. So guess I will just leave it there, and see how level it sits when I drop the air preasure down at the track.

), do you preload the bearings by measuring the bearing cap stretch, or by torquing the adjusters with a torque wrench?
