Schumacher tires are good on astroturf, forget about using them on dirt. The core muli-bows are very good on dirt 4wd, I have't tried them on the cougar.

erm, he asked about an astro track?

staggered ribs, never use inserts. use the narrow rims that are now available.

You dont need the inserts and you dont need the slimmer wheels!

Get a dremmel and cut the inside edge off upto the next raised section.

then glue
