    The trouble you will get into is not many tires swim worth a flip. If you want something besides the rawhides, you have to be careful and take your time reading and searching about what works specifically on a bigfoot. Otherwise, you may end up like a lot of us, spending $ on tires that don't work. So don't be in a hurry to order tires, wait for a good reference on a tire.

    I have theses on a Honda Foreman (I iknow its only a 4 wheeler but Im 6x6 poor at the momentlol) but I will say this for them, in the mud they will dig to china in a hurry. But they are heavy and robbed some power from it, so I had to put a jet kit on the bike to get the power back. and watch out for hard surfaces they wear quick.. And good luck!

    I'm not a fan of the rawhides either.. however, with a set of Mudd Ox wheels, a new set of rawhides will stay mounted no matter how low the air pressure. That will change the whole vehicle/tire experience. With 2 psi or less, the tires will flex, = "suspension" more tire contact, and a ride quality you have not experienced before. The mudd ox wheels are the same 9x10 as the argo wheels.

    Not bead locks in the conventional sense, but they're built different so the tire bead fits snug. Someone will have to post Matt's phone # for you.

    Mudd Ox tried them, no swim, soft ride, good traction.

    What did he try them on? When you say no swim did they swim slowly, cause loss of direction or what? Also did he try reversing the middle set?

    they were on an 8 wheel mudd ox. I think it would move, but that's about it. Don't know if he staggered the tires.
