[QUOTE="Snowrunner, post: 956547, member: 16870"] I beg to differ on the cepeks. We had a guy run them and they suck compared to the gumbo. The second tire you show looks ok, better than the cepek but not as good as the gumbo. Look at the pics they have showing the pressure and the patterns. Notice how the cepek and this new tire pressure prints cover alot of th pics. Now the colors show that they dont put down much psi compared to the gumbo, but the gumbo has a wider tread with biggger gap. So all the pressure is sittin on the blocks of the tread not really takin into account the rest of the tire. Now notice how the pressure is on the outside blocks of the gumbo. The sidewall of that tire is also goin to be pooching out providing aditional support in the snow along with the voids in the tread. To me this shows that with the wider tread blocks more ability to clean out but still have ample traction are the reasons why the gumbo is superior to any other tire. That and the fact it is radial and once broken in airs down extrememly nicely. The only thing I think those tests are good for are road tires or rockcrawling tires. Just my two cents and opinion. What do some of you others think? Id like to get a good technical debate goin because this issue of what tire is best had been goin on for a long time. [/QUOTE]
