Re: Questions about first time trying 6WD.
My experience is that with 6WD and the middle wheels lowered so the machine rocks (even a little), you can go with as grippy of wheels as your heart desires. By ensuring that the middle wheels and only one set of other wheels (front or back) are in contact with the ground at any one time, the aspect ratio is good enough that your scrubbing effect is liveable.

I love 6WD, I believe you will be happy with the performance.
