Just put my first 80 miles on them, and the traction is great, but they are showing significant signs of wear already! The ride was mostly dirt, with some gravel roads and about 1 mile of pavement. I hope buying these wasn't a mistake.
Nice buggy, the system3 combo is always a winner. Soft compounds are amazing but burn faster, it's a sad fact. I have over 4000 miles on my XC 450 and they still look great and no flat ever. The compound is pretty hard though and they're not the best on slick rocks, it's always a compromise.
Not yet, but I will be. I suspect they're going to do very well. I'm waiting for a heavy snowfall so I can really put them to the test. I'll hopefully have a good video posted of them in snow by mid-January at the latest.
So far, so good. I've put a couple hundred more trail miles on them. They have amazing traction. Great in loose sand. Skim water puddles very well. Cut through mud. Climb over downed trees with surprising ease. Only negatives I'm currently noticing is that they noticeably vibrate at speeds between 55 and 90, and their extra weight causes a slower time by a couple seconds to get to top speed.
@garybolich8247 Wear seems to be slowing down, but I've adjusted my driving to help. I don't deliberately smash the throttle or slide sideways when on pavement.
Nothing serious, yet. The little bit of mud I've gone through, they cleared it out right away. Haven't been anywhere with thick or deeper than a foot mud yet. No decent rock obstacles near me, so it'll be a bit until I can test them on rocks.

Have you had a chance to test them out in the snow?

I finally did, and I was very impressed with them:

How are they holding up?

@ATVG Good to hear for the most part. How are they wearing down?

@@ATVG gotcha. What pressure are you running them at?
@garybolich8247 10 psi is where I have kept them.
Have you had them in Mud or on Rocks yet? I am looking at a set for a Commander

@@ATVG Thank You for the reply!
