Default Mambos w/Bowties

Just grabbed a "slightly" used set of 40 series Mambos with Bowtie treads...will they make for a descent bashing setup??? They look good in the pics and only paid $43 plus shipping. New I would be looking at around $130 so even if they are a little abused they should still hopefully be worth it. Could have grabbed some big joes on cheyenne rims for another $20 but I don't think I want to go with a tire that heavy and BIG.

The bow ties are a great racing tire , dont know how they will be for bashing . As long as you stay off the asphalt you should be OK .....

The only time I'll be on pavement is when I break in my new so 18 tm...other than that it's sand, grass, dirty, whatever I can find.

My "new" shoes just showed up this afternoon...tires are pretty much brand new and the rims have the usual stuffing on them...look pretty darn nice (will the extra offest cause be problems, though???...they stick out probably 3/4 of an inch on either side). I'll just through my stockers on for when I break in my new engine.

No offset helps the handling in my opinion. It still works fine but on 1 half inch offset on 40 series it is nearly impossible to flip my truck
