Hey Pig I am thinking of getting the Xtreme MT's when I go to 37's have you ever run the Xterrains? and if you have how do they compare to the XMT's?

I've never ran than, Club members have. They are a rotational tire, Most guys run the tread backwards on the road. It works better in the rain and snow.

We tried them on the comp rig, they dont do as well as the Xreme MT's.

i have run the xtreme mt's and thought they were a good tire. really sticky rubber compound and quite for a mudder. only problem i had with them is that they tended to chunk (probably because the rubber was so soft) and wear out on the faster side of things. but, for what they did on the trail, it was worth it to me. as far as xterrains go, they look nice but are probably one of my least favorite tires. they are hard and don't perform well at all and they are directional.

i forgot about the chunking on the xtreme MT's...
yeah, thats definetly an issue the more miles the tire gets, its not easy to keep them balanced once the chunks start flying.

you know this for sure? well, if they are, they sure don't behave like it or, maybe it's just the tread size and pattern that makes all the difference.

Yes all Xtreme procomps are made with XTC compounds (Xtreme Traction Compounds)

95% of Procomps are made in the states except for a few certain sizes, I don't really have a list or anything.

Yes Extreme AT and MT use the same compounds. X-terrain and MT use the same.
