Otherwise from what I've seen they have good traction for a normal M/T.
BUGGER - i know that the 35" MAXXIX BuckShot's split very badly, as a cheap alternative tire for people who owned trepadors.. who have now gone to a 35" MAXXIX BigHorn - they have found the same issue, no where near as bad however still annoying enough that all 4rigs in our club running 35"s have happened to..

i'm only running a 30-31" Federal MT so i know that the "smaller" MT you go the less change they have of splitting, what size were your feds??

otherwise we did consider to SuperSwamper Boggers... but every one seemed to report that at aroun 80k's every one expierences blow outs on the road
that was enough for me hahaah!!!
