tire options

[KtmRacer419]

so my boggers will only last me so long so now im thinking about my future tire options.

anyone ever see these in action?

If i get them, they will be on 16.5" wheels with staun internal beadlocks. and they may or may not be sniped, (not sure yet)

but 4 new 36" tires for about $370, plus $200 worth of wheels, in my book is pretty slick.

I havent priced the beadlocks out yet, but from what I hear they will be in the $600-$700 range, so those might have to wait, or i will have to find some 16.5" conventional beadlocks. But street legality is still somewhat of an issue.

thoughts? opinions? critisizations?

why such huge rim? huge rims look ghetto. like tint peeling and turning purple

why not 36" Bias TSLs?

[KtmRacer419]

because i cant get 4 36" bias tsl's for $370

and 16.5" is the only rim size i can get those tires in.

i just found weld on beadlocks for 90 bucks a wheel, might go that route, not sure yet.

$420 bucks

they add more $ for residental shipping

[KtmRacer419]

i can have it shipped to my place of work

Why are beadlocks only on the outside? Can't the tire come off the back of the rim too?

I never understood that..

guess you never heard of a double beadlock n00b

[HeavyMetal]

dont get those, theyre HMMWV tires run on all the military rigs right now. you can find a MUCH better tire for a dedicated off road rig than those. take my word for it.

theyre so cheap because theyre probably from some government surplus, theyre pretty generic tires when it comes down to it.

also humvees running those out in the desert now now range from 6-10,000 pounds. think about the load range on those tires and how well theyre going to flex and conform as a result.

though on the flip-side they ARE a bias tire, and tough

[grundlepunch]

^^ agreed, i herd the tread doesn't bite for shit on those. but i have no applicable experience. But i wouldnt waste money on those tires just to not like them and be stuck with them until you can afford good ones. I've seen nothing but good shit with my friends and iroks, but they dont like the road too much.

and +1 for TSL's

[KtmRacer419]

i drove the jeep today and i think my boggers got rounder , maybe steves iroks will be in my future once he puts his dana60 in

don't get the Goodyear HumVee 36's. thay are load range D. They don't move very much.

[KtmRacer419]

the tires on my chevy are load range D and they move around more than my current tires.

[HeavyMetal]

the tires on your chevy arent load range D bias offroad tire off a 9000 pound HMMWV

[KtmRacer419]

very true, maybe i should have put that into consideration as well
