Re: 6in or 8in?

Higher coefficient of friction is generally better. It means your more likely to be torque limited instead of traction limited. Though a difference of .1 probably won't make a difference.

Re: 6in or 8in?

We are using rough-top in the middle of our dropped-center 6wd for maximum grip.

Re: 6in or 8in?

We're going with a 6WD 6" dropped pneumatic in the center and with omnis on the corners.
