My impression was that it gave decent drive, but sucked side-to-side and couldn't hold laterally, at least in New England goo. Those characteristics in the back makes for a wagging rear end, which is no big deal, but makes for a really bad time in the front. I still like the 739s the best. JayC

I've found their stiction to the kitchen floor is unsurpassed. I haven't dropped them in mud or loam yet. Joe Rooney
