I went wheeling this weekend and had them on. They really aren't that bad but I was wondering if I sipped them would it make a difference? It would be great to buy better tires but the money is not there and I would rather get a front locker first. We used to diesel our dirt track tires to soften them I wonder if that would help.
 
Are you using the bias or radial hummer tire? I am gonna run the radial tire on my truck, and i would be interested in knowing if syping helps at all! If you try to sype them please post the results good, bad, or no help
 
Craig's bias tires didn't seem to work to bad to you, did they John? I was thinking about asking if people liked one better than the other.

He thought mine worked better. I really think for 375 they are still to cheap not to use. I am going to sipe mine.
 
couldnt hurt, do you mean sipe or groove? kinda tiny lugs to be grooving but siping would definately help somewhere.
 
375 for a set damn. If I had 8 lug axles id be all over that. I knew a guy here that thought they were made of gold and worth like $200 a piece.

They seem to be good tires for everything minus mud.
 
We did ok in the mud with them, not long but way over the front 60. Not boggers but for 375 I am going to add a locker and such before thinking about different tire. Yes siping, I think it will help on some of the ledges we have a hard time on.
