I would like to enter my Quadzilla in the local mud bogs. I am uncertain, however, on what a good tire set up would be for such a machine. The full-size professional mud boggers on TV seem to be using sand tires with tall, straight lugs. They aren't using mud tires because (I assume) they don't "clean" as well during the runs. Based on these observations, I was considering "Taller Haulers" sand tires in the rear and Mohawk or smooth buff front tires. I would appreciate any suggestions from somebody with experience or knowledge on this subject. Summer is comming and, along with it, the mud. Thanks

 

Well depending on the conditions, sand tires can be great or bad. From what I have seen with sport bikes, Realtor's (in the backwards pattern) are the best overall. I saw this one guy on a VERY modified 300ex passing where 4wd trucks and ATVs were going, the only thing that stoped him was hitting ruts from trucks-- other than that he just kept it pinned and it kept on moving him.

 

I have seen a Zilla use paddles in a mud bog, they looked like they worked great, judging by the size of the roosters. This was in the early 90`s and if my memory is correct he was getting in the 15 second range for 200 ft bog. HTH
