the way i cut them is cut about an 1" out in the centers and then between the lugs cut'em to the cords and leave about 3/4 inch of rubber behind each lug and sharpen the lugs up |

Just remember once you sharpen the front of the lugs you severly weaken them. Mine took two trips to lose two lugs on a fresh cut.....woooohoooo. So as long as you can afford to keep replacing them if they fail go buck wild!

I cut every other set of lugs out and then went to the cords and man do they hook. |

The 45 degree tires are not the best however I found that if you put a 1" wide slot in the middle of each lug it improved traction a lot. Basically your doubling the number of griping corners. |

I prefer the 45deg with off camber trail rides. When I had 23degs me rear slid around too easy. But I run a WC too. |

Just run um. That air cooled is going to have a hard time spinning them as it is. They wont wear to fast. You can take atleast 5 lbs of rubber off both tires which will help the engine move um. |
