    Had never heard of swamp witches so I looked them up. Yep that’s about as close a cousin as cousins can get.
    He’ll also find if he sinks those things into deep mud and cracks the throttle he’ll go home looking like a four year old who escaped mommas clutches on a rainy day :)

    Never park your quad in a "sketchy" neighborhood.

    At least they were considerate enough to put it on nice wood blocks.;)

    A scabbard or a wood/ plastic rack box with at least a few inch tall sides will really work, and keep your saw safe and secure.

    Gooder stuff today..

    IMG_20190819_180746133.jpg

    Drop truck n tires off after work today, Jr. yanks tires out of the truck..
    "You want these mounted up now?"

    "That'd be great if you're not busy."

    So, checked them up the gas line, nearly made it all the way in 2wd, but did need 4wd at the end.

    These'll get me where I wanna be.

    It will be better after they're deflated some, will run it a couple days with 25 psi, then drop down to around 10 psi and check lugnuts.

    No need to run at 25 PSI, that is a maximum inflation pressure to seat the bead (which has already been done, hopefully, if they did their job right) even running at 10 PSI is plenty...5-8 would be more normal on those tall skinny 4x4 tires...heck, you could go as low as 3 if you wanted/needed to...

    You are correct, the tires state 35psi as max seating pressure, and 7 psi for normal operation.

    Jr did clean the rims and applied some "goop" to the bead area before mounting the new tires.

    I just figured it wouldn't hurt to ride them a bit to ensure a good seat, then drop pressure.

    I may drop to the 5-7 psi range.

    Won't really hurt em, just not necessary, the bead seats with a loud pop when it goes...and at 25-35 psi on ATV tires, sometimes it really cracks! Fully seated at that point...

    I always Ike’s the Kenda viper for all around stuff, I run mud claws on the back of the utv’s great for mud but tear everything else up. The vipers a good on hardpack, sand gravel. But they are great in the woods and slimy clay. And wear very well. Long lasting tire.

    Wood always heats you twice, unless you rehandle like I do then it’s four or five times!

    ARS - Argentine Peso. The Argentine Peso is the currency of Argentina.

    1 Argentine Peso equals
    0.018 United States Dollar

    From Google.

    Tire pressure is below 10 psi, not sure exactly what it is, as my tire gauge only goes down to 10 psi.

    Well, it'll have to wait for a few more tankful's of gas, then it'll be "free" through bonus points.
    :rofl: :lol:

    They aren't coming off the rims, and they're not flat.

    It's a good middle ground.
