Tire Review of the Maxxis Sticky Trepador

- Ive had this Maxxis Sticky Trepador, what I call a sticky trep for over a year now and I feel like I've had the tire long enough to do a complete review. Here are my thoughts and opinions on the tires.

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 🤣
Matt Kunz Hahahaha can’t see why not
lol, I wish you worked for Maxxis!!
Trepador means climber in spanish. Just thought i'd share that.
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
Does anyone else think that Matt sounds like Mr. Rogers? Great video with excellent review and description of a sticky tire.
Always great content. I’ve learned a lot and continue learning from the channel, much appreciated.
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.
Thanks for the review Matt. Clearly a quality tire. If I still lived on the West Coast they would be ideal.
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.
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!
Love the look of them tires and I’ve seen how they work very well for you.. I will have a set of these for my jk one day soon
Awesome review of the stickies Matt!
Thanks for doing the review!
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.
2021: Still a great vid Matt, Thanks!
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.
Very cool! Interested in the sticky Mickeys that Jeremy runs too.
I think the Baja Pro XS is the best 40 on the market right now. Soft but not a sticky.... great all around tire.
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.
Great video man. Thanks. I need me some 42s 🤘🏻
There specific on edgy rock. Buggy sand hollow type stuff. Elite tire there. Great review
Ran my bias comp Treps in reverse as a test, sucked on the rocks but did well in the loose stuff, especially v notches.
Glad I seen this, gnarly looking tire but all I have in Florida is sugar sand and mud.
Those are the $#!t !! I hope Maxxis helps you out on your next set! I love your videos and how you make fun of influencers!!
Nice tires. A set of 5 are more than my old jeep is worth, but she still beats the snow.
Your videos come thru for me fine with out the bell
Great review. I'm always curious about stickys. I run super swampers but I'm in western washington. I know there is a sticky swamper that seems to be popular, would be a good one to try and do a review
Maybe interco will help you out with a set of sticky TSLs for the comanche
haha, I wish! As far as I know they only sponsor 1 guy and his name is Tim Cameron... not Matt BleepinJeep
@@bleepinjeep 7
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.
you should review those ORI's.
We all know there great! But he may have some more insight on them.
hmmm, ok what would you like to know?
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......
they are churched up air shocks...
I would like to see a comparison to the sticky mickies when they're worn.
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!
Ya I'd love to give those a try!
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.
Love the video, how many trail rides have you had on these to where they are still holding up
They do look good on your Jeep .
I have treps, they are bad ass love them
Love love love them
I love these tires. If I had a bunch of money I would buy them.
Alden Meyers they wouldn’t be cheap, wonder how long they would last
I will stick to my eye rocks since most of what I do trail riding and mud
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
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😬
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
I wonder if you can use some glue to patch those cuts. Might be worth a try.
Treps are the go to 4wd tires down under in Australia if your building tube buggy
Good choice! A lot of Malaysia off road competition car use this tires. This is the m8060 right? Maybe try the m9060.
I wanna see those compared to the BFG Krawler’s
Would you consider doing a video with general tire recommendations for conditions in the Southeastern U.S.? Advice from folks with actual experience is hard to come by in the age of “everyone knows everything” on the internet.
I have a question about determining gear ratio for tires of different size. Running larger tires on the rear vs the front. How would I match up the ratio between the 2 axles with different size tires?
Have you noticed any comparison pros and cons to the Mickey's that Jeremy and Holly are running?
Great question
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....
Are you planning on restocking the large reserve battery power modules? I need one for my CJ7
What pressure do you usualy run on rocks? And what minimum pressure have you ever tried on mud? Im running 10psi and the tires seemed to be pretty hard so far....thinking next try on 5.
What tire pressure do you run ?
I like the review. I'm down in south Fl where we have a lot of sand. How do they do in the loose sand
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!
Should get ahold of the new super swamper mega tsl's... they come in a 40" for the 17" wheel and the tread depth is in the 2" deep area...
have you seen the weight? 163lbs, holy smokes!
What is the load index? My guess is N or lower, and 120 or higher.
I am looking for a H100 or V100 (letter is how fast and numbers are how much weight) to run at Bonneville.
What kinda miles can you get on bias ply
Those are bad ass tire.whats the smallest tire they sell?
Thanks for the review, I have trail ready wheels and want these tires, did you have use ducktape to prevent burping
No, these wheels locked em in good!
If you had to replace them tomorrow, what would you buy?
are they selling the M - 9060 in america yet? those are some sexy tires! Looks like the tire in this video but the treads are separated much farther out.
Whats the difference between the colors? Like I saw red maxxis and yellow maxxis logo on the tires
Would you buy again? Would you swap with TSLs back and forth depending on terrain?
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!
Just curious, why the TSL over the SX? Or do you mean TSL's in general? Great video!
I always liked the look of the regular bias ply TSL. Plus I probably couldnt afford any of the fancier tires anyway.
You tricked me and now I have a sore finger from trying to reach through the screen to feel the tyre 😜
I’d like to get your opinion on a set of pitbull rockers after using them for a year. They’re my favorite tire I’ve ever used. I wheel in Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
I know a lot of people who like those tires but I've never had a set.
Can you dona run down video of what you have done to the scorpion as far as the engine, trans and T case? Thank you if so I am really interested
ya thats super easy... I put in an atlas transfer case. done... boom😅
Best portable Amazon 12v air compressors for tires over 33 inches? I’ve got 35s and don’t need a on board system.

Best bang for your buck tire for a daily/weekend wheeler?
probably the BFG KO2... sometimes you can get a bargain on those. I've heard people say the geolander as well but I'm not sure how those perform on the street or if they are any cheaper than the BFG.
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.
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.
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
Are Tim and Tyler still with this channel? If not, are they on their own channel? I'd still like to follow their builds and videos
The name Trepador comes from the spanish, trepador means climber in spanish.
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?
With all the stress of the stickys, what brand ball joints and unit bearings do you run? What kind of service life are you seeing with them as well?
I ran the spicer ball joints for about 2 years before I had to replace them... Now I'm on the Teraflex ball joints for a year now. I'm running the Omix-ada 30 spline grande unit bearings and replaced those at 2 years as well but probably didnt need to... just did for peace of mind and kept the old ones for spares.
@@bleepinjeep please do an update on those ball joints. I run spicers as well, but am only getting about 3 years out of them
why does that CRF230F never seem to go anywhere
Have them in street radials. Learned the hard way, take them off in the winter. They do not work on ice.
Lol nothing works on ice
@@coast.cutter7552 Yeah ice sucks. My KM2s worked wayyyyyyy better though.
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!!! :] ]
great review. Love these tires but no way I can afford them and living in New Hampshire I wouldn't be able to keep them from freezing. I didn't know they couldn't freeze or they would crack.
They crack but its superficial reds do it too i wouldnt be to worried about cracking if your looking at stickies
Me either... its only the sticky version but says it right on the website: www.maxxis.com/catalog/tire-149-107-trepador-competition
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
Yes i know what the website says but i know plenty of people up here in Pa/ Nj that go out and snow wheel with there stickies and no problems
Tom Bajek well that’s good to know I mean I love the tread design always have but if they won’t last in the cold I don’t want them. Maybe someone should do a cold weather review of them
Well you get them again ? Or try something new
That was my question too!!!
I'd run them again but I dont have to... I really love the look though... not sure I could give that up!
I wanna see a back to back comparison to krawlers.
I have no idea how the ring gear in that LP Rubicon "44" has not exploded yet.
At least he keeps a backup ring and pinion with him!
No v8 and not bouncing it off the rev limiter everywhere helps lol
Made from a special blend of unicorn farts and dragons teeth!
What’s your thoughts on BFG reds for the tn, al, ga area
Reds work extremely well in the SE
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.
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!
Whatever happened to the comancheap?
instagram.com/p/B5tRmUlA2kX/?
Do you know the weight of the wheel/tire combo? How does the 4.0 do power wise?
The wheels are pretty light, they are the Visions... this should answer your other question: czcams.com/video/J0FSOrHeiWE/video.html
After a year of use whats your tread depth
idk, but its not good. as mentioned this tire doesnt wear evenly, it makes triangles out of the lugs so I'm not sure measuring the tread depth would be a good representation of wear.
I feel like you don’t like the Comanche
Is your next set of tires gunna be the same?
maybe, or I'd like to try their new Maxxis mud tires
is there any way to talk to Matt directly? Like an email or DM.
Where has the comancheep been
instagram.com/p/B5tRmUlA2kX/?
here in florida we call it "mudding" !!! :] ]
Are you gonna stick with the Maxxis or go back to the TSLs?
idk, it would be fun to try a TSL sticky
@@bleepinjeep if you do please do a review of them. I have some TSLs and love them.
You’ll need to regroov them about half way through there life... I had to on my maxis trep bias ply...there a good tire.. but they ride like crap on the road ..👍
I rang the bell more than I care to mention and still can't get a notification
Hmmm, maybe your phone settings or something
I use a laptop 99 percent of the time
What's your next tire
IDK, I figure I'll run these for a while still.
why don't you get sticky tsls
Dang I got my 42 sticky treps for WAY less than your 40 😳😳 my 42s were 550
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.
What if they were siped ?
Treps work better in the mud when you have a decent amount of power to clear the lugs
Treps can be grooved too...
i liked those tires until you said they cost $3500.00. that is more than i built my k5 blazer for and i put new 33” falcon mts on it.
Ya they are called "competition" tires for a reason. Are are priced accordingly!
so,,,these are tires you used to climb that monster hill ?
Yes sir!
@@bleepinjeep NOW THAT WAS AWWWWSOME !

i love yer photoshop skills, thats a traxxis maxxis rc jeep isnt it ;)
mmm, cant tell if you are being sarcastic... thats my scorpion, same as the opening scene, lol
"Trep" is short for Trepador and Trepador means "climber" in spanish
