GBC Mudshark Tire

As many of you know, I have run these tires on all 3 of my mowers ive had. I love them. They almost never fail me..

I run these tires at 0 psi.
They are 4 ply rated, and have very aggressive tread that lasts awhile (i've done a lot of road riding).
They are however, hard to find, as they are discontinued.
If your wheels are turning over about 4-5mph.. they will self clean. Meaning no slicks.
Here they are

If i had to give these a rating, it would be 4.8 out of 5.
The only issue issue I've had is reverse traction. I think most of that is weight transfer tho, because when i hop on the backrest of my seat, they hook up.

Here they are on my mowers.
Battle Wagon

Pony

Death Machine

Here is what the manufacturer says,

Deeper, more aggressive tread design gives great forward and lateral traction
Eye-catching graphics
45° traction bar increases cornering stability, gives constant cleaning in mud and grabs traction in rocky terrain
Heavy duty 4-ply rated poly cord construction fights punctures
27" & 28" tires are made with ultra heavy duty 6-ply rated constuct
Good for riding in mud and Snow
Unique self-cleaning mud channels keep treads clear
Tube/tubeless design
Deepest Tread Depth: 1 in.
Non-Directional

weird that you can run them flat must be a pretty heavy sidewall

how do you keep the bead from slipping at 0 psi?most need a min of 5 psi to keep the bead locked to the rim without screws. This is a common prob with expanding foam filled tires as well

They are 2 inches too wide for the rims i have, so the force they have pushing out keep them in, i have never slipped the rim inside them.
