MF44 screws were designed by a canadian I believe. They are a long screw 1" and up to 1.5" I think. TONS of dirt bike guys swear by his product. That's what I know about them. If I remember correctly they are a fine pitch screw not course like a Kold Kutter. The head design was a bit different on them too. My fear being that there fine pitch and long screw is that they may have a tendency of coming out of the tire.

Let us know how they work!

Technically a finer thread should provide more locking power, provided the thread depth isn't any shallower.

Not in rubber. It's a helluva lot easier to strip/overtighten a fine thread in rubber than if we were talking a steel plate.

With more threads per inch it's easier to adjust the edge of the screw to get more traction. Think beyond the bubble.

IMO They bite either way. You can have the best crap in the world. Don't me diddly trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro if you can't ride on ice. They are good screws. Like I stated. RUN IT.

If there is a problem with the scews coming out I will use a nut and some permanent locktite or JB Weld on the nuts. Tire removal will be a breeze now that I just bought a Coats RC-50M w/bead breaker. Man I got to stop spending money on THIS hobby! lol
