The Tires Of King Of The Hammers Maxxis Creepy Crawler

Toyo Open Country M/T

This is a race-only Toyo Open Country M/T size of 40x15.50R17 with a little softer compound. You can see by the thick side lugs and aggressive tread design that it’s made for tough conditions.


Falken WildPeak

This Falken WildPeak is an all-terrain tire but has been custom grooved to open up the voids between the tread blocks.


Falken WildPeak

Another Falken Wildpeak all-terrain with extensive custom grooving to really open them up.


Falken WildPeak

Still one more Falken WildPeak all-terrain with unique custom grooving. This one has some curves instead of just square blocks.


Interco Super Swamper IROK

The Interco Super Swamper IROK. This tire can be had in a bias ply or as a radial. Originally designed for mud, it has proved itself on the rocks, too, with legendary toughness.


Maxxis Trepador

This is a Maxxis Trepador, which means “climbing” in Spanish. It is a competition tire.


Maxxis Creepy Crawler

This bias ply tire is a Maxxis Creepy Crawler. You guessed it: It’s made specifically for competition rockcrawling. It looks like this one has been doing just that.
