Lets say they are aboout the best on mud and snow but a little rough on hard pack the back end of your quad will break loose on hard pack but it is controlable and its not a speed tire but you wont get stuck much at least i dont

Hey Jamie,

How well they go though mud will be based somewhat on the quad you have them on. Mine have done rather well, except on one occasion and the problem there was too much traction... Or too much tire for the quad - it almost would not turn them in really deep goo.

On hard or loose surfaces ( hard clay or gravel) they will tend to slide a bit more. It's not a problem if you know it's coming. Just don't try keeping up with sport quads going through tight curves


Also - BigMike - I like your quote!

I love my vampires. I very seldom get stuck and when I do I promise there is nothing that would make it through that hole
