Man that is great gr8hntr!
They look sweet man! How do they do on hardpack? Any snow yet where you live? Have you had other mud
tires to compare them to like MUDLITES or SWAMPLITES? Are they 6ply?
Sorry for all the questions but this tire has intrigued me since I laid my eyes on them!
Regards.

i replaced the stock rawhides w/ them
they are a 6ply and ride abit stiffer than the stock ones
i dont play ride mine and most of the time im under 10 mph when goin into the stand but coming out buy the trucks i'll kick it up to 50 or so sometime but its a str8 field road so i cant tell ya about corners .... a bit stiffer is the only thing i can tell from the tire change
no snow here in TN but the huge tread on them i dont see why they wouldnt work well in the snow
i hope that helps some

Anybody else have issues with the Swamplites wearing out quick? How about strength? Any issues with the Swamplites and puncture wounds?

What do you guys mean by "flip the tie rod ends"?
I assume you mean take the tie rod end off, flip it, and bolt it from the bottom of the strut rather than the top?
That makes sense... is that what you guys are saying?
Here is a picture of my problem... the tie rod end is just sightly touching (rubbing) against the tire, which I assume will eventually ruin the tire and/or the tie rod end. You can see (if you look closely) the wear on the side of the tire. So, no problems with a "flipped" setup??? It looks like that would solve my problem... Agree???
