Pretty sure a guy in my group just had to call up Goforth. As long as you got cash....you can get reds.

Absolutely willing to do that. I was excited to see that set pop up in Arkansas. Unfortunately it was 8 hours one way to get them. I'm 20 minutes from St. Louis and it doesn't seem too many pop up close to me. Also after talking to a guy who is familiar with JMG, he was thinking they needed proof of a series, not just 1 occasion. Wish interco had a 40" sticky.redneckengineered said:

I'm sure I will be. They work well but need a few rides to break in. I've only been out 2 times since I mounted them due to work and the holidays. The 2nd ride I was working on breaking them in (doing a burnout on a big rock at AOP) and blew my driveshaft yoke. We only rode about an hour before that and there are no driveline shops open in Chatanooga on Sat.

Treps working in a race
Fastenal, the bolt place. These tires work and don't clog up. This was in a dirt riot race this year.

Treps are a couple hundred cheaper than 43's. Maybe a few hundred if you call some tire stores that are highly recommended. :****: but the treps were a couple hundred dollars less from Dave's !

I would also put them up against either one of these tires for all around in the terrain we are out in.: as I can assure they will hang with both of these tires. If not outdo the 43's. 
i'm just sayin.. I feel them reach out and grab a ****. Haha.

I disagree, I had some Treps on the rear of my buggy at one time and the lateral traction wasn't very good, they remind me of a sticky bogger, Would definitely run a 43 of a Trep.

I ended up purchasing a set of 43 stickies. I've got two rides on the SX's. First was the damn locals event at tracy city over memorial day weekend. Second was a trip to Harlan two weeks ago. My initial thoughts on the SX vs Krawler are that the SX's DO NOT hook up on rocks as well compared to the Krawler. With that said, I will see how the SX's do as they get broken in to really judge but out of the box, the Krawlers are far superior on rocks. On the other hand, I've been on two rides and haven't cut a side wall!
The SX's are more expensive but more attainable. The red's are on back order as usual and I think it is only going to get worse with them opening up sales to the general public. Unless BFG steps up their production you will always be on a waiting list and then you will get bumped b/c racers are still going to get priority over general consumer. As it was, certain racers got priority over others, which I understand. I ordered a set of SX's and had them 3 days later or you can drive and pick up a set the same day if it's convenient for you.
