Right now they're scheduled for next week and are only running 20 tires, if anyone else is interested, they'd be happy to run more. Just got off the phone with Interco, there were 3 tires left in the warehouse after mine shipped and they decided to run another batch of 43x14.5-17 TSL SX sticky's. But with the Treps the lugs are so soft you would think you could cut them with a butter knife. I was able to make a couple short trips out with my Treps and they seemed to work great once I went from 9 to 5 psi but I dont know if they are going to last longer then my krawlers, in one trip they rounded off faster then almost a half season of running on my full bodied LJ. Based on how they worked, i'd take a 37" sticky over a 42" non sticky :eek: I just haven't seen much feedback on the 43" Sticky from Interco and would hate to get a bigger tire with less traction that what i currently have.and i SO LOVE those Treppadors :drool: that i'd really be pissed if i got a tire that didn't work nearly as well. One person in our group made the comment before we started "you're going to be wrecked once you run those 42's, you'll never want to go back to a 40 even in a sticky". I was utterly disgusted with how the 42x14.5-15 TSL's from the rental performed on boulder canyon last week. The TSL SX Sticky is roughly the same price as the Maxxis, so for me it's about performance. There's no question that the maxxis will outlast the krawlers as far as number of wheeling trips, so the addtional $400 for the Maxxis is money well spent from my point of view for my style of wheeling. I can buy a set of Red Label Krawler for around $2,600 new and a set of Maxxis Trepps for $3,000. Having run enough different tires of the years, i've learned that it's not always about price.
