Sticky vs. Regular Tires

Trigger · 07-08-2011, 01:41 PM

I'm trying to find out if anyone has actually wheeled on a set of non-sticky tires such as regular MT/Rs or Krawlers. I'm trying to figure out if these two are halfway decent in regular compound.

I wheeled with a guy on 40" MTR/K that were the regular compound and he made it right up Hairpin at Slade with no front locker when everyone else had troubles. I have not wheeled with many people on stickies, but the MTR/K look to do pretty good in the rocks.

That's kinda what I figured. I have just never wheeled with either tire in sticky or regular compound.

I've had both... if yer a comp guy and every 1/10th of a second counts and you get a new set of tires every 3 rides, then sure, go with stickies. If yer a wheeler that wheels, buy 2 sets of tires for what one set of stickies cost.

I'm definitely a wheeler. I'm just looking for a good tire for the Harlan, Big Rock, Slade type terrain.
