Tire Review of the Maxxis Sticky Trepador

[@mattkunz9436]

After making it up “you’ve gotta be totally nuts” and “back door” maxxis should should be sending you a new set for every video you make and 2 sets for rap videos 🤣

[@Whiteandsonsgarage]

Matt Kunz Hahahaha can’t see why not

[@bleepinjeep]

lol, I wish you worked for Maxxis!!

[@lertsomboon1481]

Trepador means climber in spanish. Just thought i'd share that.

[@TXswampdonkey]

The "sticky" tires were originally kinda let's see what happends if we made a mud tire out of the same compound(rubber) as drag slicks. I remember when Peterson's did a test on the prototype set and loved them. So basically it's a really big drag slick with a mud tread cut into them

[@toddhoffmaster6057]

Does anyone else think that Matt sounds like Mr. Rogers? Great video with excellent review and description of a sticky tire.

[@mi_zj4574]

Great review Matt. I wish all youtubers would follow this sort of review style. Not review the product the day they get it. Thanks for all the awesome content!

[@Razor32061]

you should review those ORI's.

[@UpanovrOffroad]

We all know there great! But he may have some more insight on them.

[@bleepinjeep]

hmmm, ok what would you like to know?

[@codycaelwaerts8653]

Could you compare their "manners" to other rigs on Coilovers? What they really shine at what are some quarks, how easy were they to dial in, etc......

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

they are churched up air shocks...

[@DestDroid]

Man as much as I'd love a rig like that hearing about the prices of components makes me perfectly happy with my stock Rubicon.

[@Dhane-0]

Maybe interco will help you out with a set of sticky TSLs for the comanche

I think the Baja Pro XS is the best 40 on the market right now. Soft but not a sticky.... great all around tire.

[@onetruebob_tj]

Thanks for the review Matt. Clearly a quality tire. If I still lived on the West Coast they would be ideal.

[@sorenmelchior]

Thanks for the review... and the very valid point about not freezing them. That point alone makes them a no go for me here in Alaska.

Trep radials do great in the snow and mud and wet rocks Johnson valley and big bear area

My only complaint with radial treps is as they got older the sidewalls got very weak

@@FiveFourRacing I haven't had a issue so far

[@derekjackson3990]

I feel like I should send you some money. I’ve been struggling and losing sleep over this tire. Thanks to this video I now have decided that this tire is not worth the money. Thanks man! Great video.

[@shawnvergilia1609]

Have you noticed any comparison pros and cons to the Mickey's that Jeremy and Holly are running?

[@BumDog2112]

Great question

[@bleepinjeep]

I like Jeremys Mickeys but they are almost twice as wide so I dont think I could run them on mine without the tire getting into the engine bay or without running some crazy offset wheels. But as far as the tread, the mickys do better in the mud for sure. I'd venture to say I had more traction than Holly (who also ran the mickys) in the west... but thats hard to say as her rig weighs probably twice mine so....

[@jeepindave5464]

I would like to see a comparison to the sticky mickies when they're worn.

[@GSXRKLLR]

The freezing issues are the same as performance car tires, they also crack and perform extremely poorly in sub 32f weather. My corvette actually feels like its front end is "hopping" in cold weather if you have to turn the wheel all the way.

[@duneattack]

2021: Still a great vid Matt, Thanks!

[@kungfumaster8171]

Always great content. I’ve learned a lot and continue learning from the channel, much appreciated.

[@badgerpa9]

Nice tires. A set of 5 are more than my old jeep is worth, but she still beats the snow.

[@LOSTXPLAYGUN]

Nice honest review, I really liked it. If you ever get the chance, a review on a set of red labels would be sweet too. Just know it would be fair and balanced.

[@johnnyjujitzu]

My buddies here in Missouri love them a number of them have been running water in the fronts and craw stuff like nobody's business.

[@timparkin485]

You might need 2 sets of Treps... sticky Treps for the rocks and the new M9080 mud Trepadors for the mud. The comp guys here in NZ have started running them and loving them!

[@bleepinjeep]

Ya I'd love to give those a try!

[@rareearthfab5511]

Very cool! Interested in the sticky Mickeys that Jeremy runs too.

[@crayfishroll]

Awesome review of the stickies Matt!

[@coltonheinzman9335]

Come up to the PNW and do some snow wheeling to see how they do, TSL SWAMPERS are king still out here so we need some inspiration.

[@codycaelwaerts8653]

Nice review, thanks for giving it time before you shared your thoughts. As a Swamper guy, how do you feel about the new Interco MEGAs with nearly 2" of tread? Would you give the 40s a shot on the Crawler? Tires arnt cheap, and they are the biggest player on our rigs. Thanks for the video Matt

[@bleepinjeep]

To me the MEGA tire looks like a kindergartener designed it... I'd be willing to give it a try but I'd be worried about the weight. Its 163lbs, holy cow, I don't think my axles would last unless half the tire was grooved out. Maybe thats what they intend😬

[@pilot_xoan]

The name Trepador comes from the spanish, trepador means climber in spanish.

[@justemptiedeverypocket9520]

Just curious why I don’t see any of you guys running boggers???

Boggers are old old old school. They were great for mud bogs... hence the name but they had no side bite on off camber hill climbs where they would just slide sideways.

Good choice! A lot of Malaysia off road competition car use this tires. This is the m8060 right? Maybe try the m9060.

[@trailtrash9717]

If you had to replace them tomorrow, what would you buy?

[@bleepinjeep]

Any tire will perform in the flats of Florida😂😂 lol, but seriously like I said, I'm not built for sand but I assume they would be just fine especially with that side tread!

[@Ghost-oq4qj]

Well that kinda sucks I wanted to daily something that aggressive because I’m 18 and I just got my jeep Tj like 3 months ago and it’s ready for 37” tires but I daily this because it’s the only car I have and if those tires will just be waste of money I don’t Wana do that you know. Do you know of any brand that’s just as aggressive but with better street performance?

What’s your thoughts on BFG reds for the tn, al, ga area

[@n20jeep]

Reds work extremely well in the SE

[@donanders2110]

I run 39 reds on my buggy. I live in TN and they kick ass, on my light rig. If I was to own a heavier v8 rig with tons, it would be 43 tsl stickies all day. My Father In Law just bought a set of 43 Stickie Mickies to try something new, they seem to be working well so far.

[@bleepinjeep]

The only thing about stickies in TN is that once you lose the corners, they dont work well in the mud and clay anymore. Sharp edges are always gonna do better and stickys dont hold that edge long... although they might make up for it by being sticky, lol. But sticky doesn't stick to clay mud!

[@granitesand78]

Would you buy again? Would you swap with TSLs back and forth depending on terrain?

[@bleepinjeep]

I think I would buy again, and for sure I would swap back and fourth if I had a set of both... but I'd also like to maybe try some tsl stickies. But the fact still remains, new tires with sharp edges are gonna do better in the wet muddy areas every time!

[@jacobkelley257]

when you air down, is it that effective? I would imagine those lugs on the side wall would keep it stiffer even when aired down, but maybe not.

[@bleepinjeep]

No, you can always air down enough... I can run anywhere from 2 lbs to 7 lbs depending on how squishy I want the tire to be. Although 2 lbs is a bit much.

[@jimmyd6819]

8 to 10 is pretty good number for a 37 on a 3 tonne vehicle If you want to go fast keep them up around 20 in the front for some steering

[@lastfanstanding999]

couldn't you use some high grade rubber glue/sealer to repair the lug chunking and fasten screws to hold it in place until it cures? thats what you'd do if you's from florida!!! :] ]

Me either... its only the sticky version but says it right on the website: www.maxxis.com/catalog/tire-149-107-trepador-competition

[@bleepinjeep]

not so much worried about superficial cracks but it does say right on the website that below freezing temps will change the compound of the tire: COLD WEATHER STORAGE NOTICE For Cold Weather Storage (short-term or extended): When the Maxxis competition tires are exposed to temperatures below 32ºF (0ºC), the unique racing rubber compounds used in these tires will lose their flexibility. This loss in flexibility can lead to potential cracking and other damage to the tire. TO MINIMIZE THE CHANCES OF THIS HAPPENING, CONSUMERS AND INSTALLERS ARE ADVISED TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Do not move or operate the car with these tires mounted on the vehicle if conditions are below 32ºF (0ºC). ALWAYS INSPECT FOR SIGNS OF CRACKING! NEVER USE TIRES THAT HAVE CRACKED! 2. Always store these tires indoors and at temperatures above 32ºF (0ºC). 4. Avoid transporting and handling these tires in conditions below 32°F (0°C). 5. Do not mount or dismount these tires when the surrounding work area temperature is under 50ºF (10ºC). ALWAYS INSPECT FOR SIGNS OF CRACKING! NEVER USE TIRES THAT HAVE CRACKED! 6. Before mounting or dismounting, store these tires indoors for at least 24 hours in a temperature-controlled area of 68ºF (20ºC) or warmer. ALWAYS INSPECT FOR SIGNS OF CRACKING! NEVER USE TIRES THAT HAVE CRACKED! 7. Remove these tires from the vehicle and deflate to half the normal air pressure during prolonged periods of non-use or storage. www.maxxis.com/catalog/tire-149-107-trepador-competition
