This arvo I started to experiment with cut tread patterns for my Juggy tyres. After a few variations, I came back to a pattern almost identical to what I did on the cut MudCow tyres.
They are V.chunky. The tread is about 1.5mm deeper than Clod tyres (the lugs are about 7mm high). Where I shaved the remainder of the cut tread blocks down, the tyre is now very soft and moulds well to the surface. So much so that I will probably have to run foams to give them some structure.
They are looking very promising so far.
I'll post more pics when i have finished this tyre. |

Yeah, just perfect for a blend of soft stuff and rock. They will dig themselves to China in no time. They are very agressive.
They look even better in the flesh. |

I'm curious how they perform in comparison to the Clod tires.....they seem a little stiffer. Was thinking of getting rid of my Jugg tires.
Being from Arizona, I had to look up what "arvo" meant.....afternoon

It's the depth of the tread blocks that makes Jugg tyres so stiff, not the compond so much. I had the same thing with my TC tyres on Rockhead. Once I cut them they were great. (I'LL do a better job next time :-))
I think these ones will flex quite nicely but the advantage will be in the tread depth too. |

The mechanical traction due to the lugs hooking up on rock edges etc will be impressive. I hope the Juggy rubber compound grips as well as the Clod rubber.
Hang around here for a while Jay and you will pick up a bit of the lingo mate heh heh. |

Thats what i have been doing to mine Jk, but maybe not so aggressive .
I want mine to be able to give the truck enough support to hold it up without foams but to conform to the shape of the rocks.
Or maybe i will just get some more Jumbo Claws off the nice guys at Monster Truck Parts Australia .I have heard they are really nice guys  |
