Hmmm I wonder if its similar to tractors etc that put water in the tires to put more weight down for traction..... I know several radial class guys that run water in their radials to make them hook harder because the weight it puts in the tire. Maybe M/T's heavy as hell helps traction

tires so far the lightest we,ve had are the M&H,s, and they work my son went 10 nteens on his, i think the 325 is about 5 to 7 lbs lighter than the same sized mt tire, 
the 390 m&h is slightly lighter then the 315 mickey.. and thats with the 390 being on a 12 inch wheel and the 315 on a 10 inch wheel.. bob
