Found these and just wondering what you guys think of them. Look like garbage to me, would get buried in any decent mud. At just under $600, no thank you. too wide for trails. I'd rather spend it on a set of outlaws/silver backs.

They might be ok on an Argo but i would not put them on my machines.

Maybe if you lived on the bayou and never had to haul your machine in a pickup.

Makes it really wide and odd looking, but appears to be a good idea, tough as nails. Would be a good thing to test out for sure, add to your stability as well, but fling alot of mud all over evrything.

They are total junk!!!!! DO NOT BUY THESE!!!! My area foreman insisted we tried them in the mighty swamps of chinchaga on our quads.

They lasted about 3 kms on one quad and mine made it about 4 or 5 kms and they were busted to chit and fell right off. then we had to get a helicopter to get us out of the swamp. there was no sticks or stumps or nothing just floating grass and soft muskeg.... I was soooooo Pizzed at my boss for that one!

it seems to limit your driving fun, from trails to mud. Some trails I just can get by, because they are so narrow. The extra width must be hell on the axles and joints, and I get sprayed enough from my own machine with tires just sticking out an inch or so. No thanks. Some times getting stuck can be fun especially if it is your friend that's stuck, ha ha. I need a good laugh some times.

there is another thread on these and that I posted in but just so there is no confussion with my opinion......... These things are junk and look ugly as hell, I believe I said before I wouldnt be caught dead with these on my quad!

They look butt ugly and can cover up ones sexy aluminum wheels.

Not only that, you get way more bump steer when the plastic hits a rock or stump... Its more leverage and we all know what its like to get a bar in the thigh.
