Lastly, in the very latest issue of JP magazine, questionable tome that it is, they finally finished their old retro CJ-6 with the Buick 225 V-6 (greatest off road engine ever made!!!!!!!!!) and stock pizza cutters on 5.5" rims (like VEX's). Thus, in their report, said, "with the narrow stock tire retreads I was amazed at the traction I got and the places I could go........" Really? What a thought? And from JP magazine no less.....

Duh.

Quoted from the July issue of JP magazine on page 54 in regards to the above referred CJ-6 project.

"More surprising was how well the High-Tec Retread mud tires worked. The lugs are super soft, and with the tires aired down to 8 psi, they grabbed like crazy."

Now that folks is the rest of the story.

Me wonders how an even wider tire aired down might have done. This and the fact that they did air down for a larger footprint.
