Can any one tell me if some one makes a set of 40 series mulchers? I have a set of crime fighters. They are okay but not for what i run in. I like the 40 series over regular size emaxx tires. Can any one point me in the right dirction?

I dont think they make 40 series mulchers? Ill look around for you, ill tell you if i find anything.

sylvester is right. they dont make 40 series mulchers, only mashers. which have tread that looks similar to the stock but a little more aggressive.

no leroy. no 40 serie mulchers available..

Man that sucks. I guess I may check into a reg size then. I would much rather have the 40 series. I like the handling a little better. I check around for something. thanks guys. If you come across something let me know.

I dropped proline a email. I wanted to know if they planning on a set of 40 mulchers.

I emailed proline. The rep told me that there is no plans for a 40 series mulcher. The rep also said that they would keep this in mind for maybe a new product line. Maybe if more people emailed proline about this they would get it done. Does any one else think this would be a great tire to thrash around with?

i don't think email bombing them would help..

we tried it allready with powerstrokes for the savage.. LOL

coolhandcountry · 12.06.2005, 02:27 PM

It was just a thought. I guess it will be regular size rims with mulchers then. Can i modify a stock set to fit a 40 series.:D Maybe stretch it to fit.

you can cut the sidewalls and use hurricane rims.

Although referring to it as "email bombing" makes it sound bad/mean, telling a company what you want to see in their product line is still the only way they get that crucial information from their customers.
If you don't email/call them to tell them what you want, how will they ever know?

Perhaps bombing wasn't the best choice of words in your opinion, but the point is clear imo.

lots of members from savage-central (which has got a HUGE group of members) emailed them with the powerstroke question.

Serum,
I'm not trying to be argumentative here, but I'm curious as to how you would notify a company when you think they should add a product to their product line.

If what you're saying is that ProLine isn't receptive to suggestions to their customers based on your experience, I guess that would make more sense to me.

I'm always optimistic, however, and I could imagine the scenario at ProLine where some of the product folks are suggesting making 40 series mulcher tires, but their marketing department is saying that they haven't received enough response from customers asking for it. Then coolhand's email show up in their inbox and the clouds open up and the angels start singing. Two weeks later, coolhand receives a free set of tires from ProLine for his great suggestion and a parade is held in his honor.
Okay...maybe I went a little overboard there, but it would still be cool if it happened. :)

I like free tires. :D I wish they would at least make them. I think it would be a good market for them.
Joe has a good point. If only one person sent something in about a product verse 200 or more. What would be more likely to get a response?

Serum · 12.07.2005, 09:53 AM

The point is batsish, we can't.... we are too small for them to even make those tires.

Savage central has got about 18000+ members, we are not even in the smallest shadow of that.. Baed on my experiences with proline, I am talking about the powerstrokes for the savage again. I got an email from them, that a certain company was making shocktowers for their powerstrokes, that information they got me was incorrect, i sent them an email about it 2 times with 0 respons.

It takes a person who has got the ability to convince them with the need of the product. the producer needs to be interested in it as well.. I succeeded with a bulkless setup from FLM for the savage. but FLM is not even close to the size of proline. It takes SOOOOO much effort to convince a big company.. I am an optimistic person, but also realistic.

I am not saying, that it CAN't be done, it CAN be done for sure.. The best way is to ask Proline to give us/you a reason for not making the mulchers in 40 series. It would be a very nice tire for certain surfaces for sure...
