[QUOTE="DirtMonkey, post: 612342, member: 2435"] From Jesse Haines FB Jesse Haines 7 hrs · Sparks, NV · I'm sure there's a ton of people wondering if the 42" Maxxis Trepadors are going to live up to the hype. So far I'm really happy with them! I've only got about 90 minutes of time on them, but here are my initial thoughts - The first thing everyone will notice is that they're big! They're 3" taller than a 40" Trepador BUT only 1/2" wider. They only weigh 12 lbs more than the 40" (110 lbs). The size of the sidewall was the biggest concern for many that heard the 42's would be on a 17" wheel. I haven't really noticed that it's anything to be concerned about. I will say that sidewall deflection is something that's much easier to see by someone outside the vehicle. For some reason I swear that the 42's were more difficult to break in. It took a lot of burning the tires off to round the front edge of the lugs. I've been assured that they are the same compound as the 40". They definitely take more effort to spin. My little 1.4L is spooling up all the time. It will take more seat time to see how much power is affected in different scenarios. There's no doubt that you're going to find these tires binding up the drivetrain more often. It's noticeable. They'll be a great test for my portals and Branik Motorsports 300m axle shafts.
