[QUOTE="JEEPKEVIN, post: 664275, member: 13136"] The tough pill to swallow is the price difference. When I was buying tires for my build, it was appx. $250 difference on the $43" sticky vs non. $1000 would go a long ways towards other stuff I needed. I bought regular 43" SX Now I know you can't turn a non into a sticky but we have been playing with different cuts in the tread to improve traction. We have been cutting a slit in the center lugs directly across the width of the tire. We use a sawzall and a wood blade. We have found it lets the tire fold and conform a little better. We were running 3 to 4 psi and now we are up to 6psi and seem to have the same traction, a little more belly clearance, beads hold a little better. They will never be stickys but as just a Joe Blow recreational wheeler, they do the job. When I started wheeling there was this bad ass that had 35" and a locker in the rear. He was a god at our local mud hole. Now my wife daily drives on 37" and still thinks her JK looks small. How times have changed!!! [/QUOTE]
