Creepy Crawler Stickies???

rpf500 · Oct 21, 2014

Talked to him today. They are true stickies. He has or had a maxxis sponsorship thus why he was running these and now treps. I'm working on trying to get the 4th. It was sold to his friend for a spare I guess. I am going to buy them regardless, but figured while I'm paying shipping, may as well try to get 4.

He ended up getting the 4th back from his buddy who had it as a spare. Just have to arrange pickup and I will be good. Oh, and I guess buy some 17" wheels!!!

Do it. Sounds like a solid deal. Hell if I could figure out who would pay me to run there tire I wouldn't care. Tires are just a small part of accomplishing an obsticle that run what you can.

I respectfully disagree. Tires are the only thing between you and the surface you are riding over. They are a significant contributor as to whether or not you will conquer an obstacle. That's not to say you can't have fun without great tires. That being said, I run Creepy Crawlers on my buggy and am pretty happy with them. Would they be my first choice? No, but, I got a great deal on them as well and they are light years ahead of the TSL's I had. Mine are cut in the center tread blocks to help in muddier situations. Seemed to work. You can kinda see in this pic.

Incorrect. Ever wheeled on a set of Reds?

Yes, I have reds and treps, and yes there is a difference in the two. I figured this response would come around, and I agree with yall to an extent. What I'm saying is there is just more than tires to consider: too little power, too much power, throttle at the wrong time, correct line, suspension set up, shock tuning, gearing, tire size, belly clearance, steering, driver vizbility, and on. That's what I mean when tires are a small part in the overall picture. You can have THE unicorn tire but if everything around it is wrong, the difference the tires make is so little compared to the overall potential.

That's all sort of a given. I guess my view of it is the difference it makes if for example you took my rig and put some 39-40" TSL's under it.....wheeled 5 difficult obstacles, then put Reds on it and wheeled the same obstacles, they are a little more than a small part. Of course you have to have the drivetrain or an obedient foot, or all yer driveline parts will **** themselves.

In summary, tires certainly can separate an average rig from a "that sumbitch'll go!" rig. Since this thread was about tires, that's the point the OP is at.....I believe he already has tons and driveline to support stickies, so the night and day difference between Iroks and sticky Creepies will likely be a pretty big difference.....at this point, all the other things to consider is not where he is currently.

Agreed. Run them. I run 37 reds on tj ruby axles.
