Sadly he's right. everyone walks up to it and say, damn those are some little tires, maybe you should get some 35s.Originally Posted by uglyota
he's just sick of people asking him why he only went with 33s on his buggy

As for being limited, a little bigger tire would give me a little more breakover which would be nice, since I drag the belly alot. I'd also like it for the little increase in approach angle, since I seem to ram that front crossmember into everything. (I'm gonna try moving my front axle forward some as well)
mine are 38x12.5x15 inch rim, tsls i got them to ship them to me free thats partially why i got them cheap, but like every two weeks they do the free shipping thing.
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
I'm curious how tall they are? I've always heard the skinny 38s never really measure even close to 38
another thing I wonder is whether tire prices will keep climbing, or if they'll drop when all this mess with the hurricanes is fixed.
You know what, that brings up a curious thought. Interco is in Louisiana, right? I wonder how they fared
remember that the bigger the tire the taller the COG, another cool part about the lil bastard.

i'd go with Iroks, they grip, they are cheap, and they actually measure up to their rated size. The newer ones do have thicker tread depth if thats what your really worried about it.

I think one thing we learned while trying to flip the buggy this weekend is that the COG is insanely low, so I don't think an inch or so of more height it gonna be a killer.
Okay, for the people voting for the irok, here is a few questions I have about them. I hear they are made from a really soft compund, which is why the stick so well. How is that compound holding up to the granite at mason? I know I tore huge chunks out of my old SSRs up there. The other question I have is the physical differences between the 36's and the 37s. By readin the specs, it looks like the 36 is larger overall yet cheaper then the 37. Why even come out with a 37 then? Do the 37s have the deeper tread?
Oh yeah, if I seem to be asking alot of questions, its because I'm bored and really don't want to study for my strength of materials test tommorow
they do have a softer compound and did very well at Katemcy and everywhere else I've had em so far. They didn't chunk this time out there, but I wouldn't rule it out completely once they get more torn up
Its been a while since I did much research on them, but my understanding is that the 36s & 37s are about the same height (my 36s measured the same as a 37 mtr), but the 37s have a slightly deeper tread

I think if you go to Katemcy much then iroks won't last long. If you remember shain's sx's and how bad they were torn up, granted he is out there nearly everyweekend but they are a hard tire.
The 38x14.5's are taller than the 38x12.5s

i think my 38's measured like 37.5 or 37.7 either way its close enough for me.

well yea, as much as he's out there, none of his tires last very long

You really think you'll wear out tires? I'm currently liking 38 x 15 TSL radials, but if I had to pay for tires and get them new, they'd be 39" IROKs or 38 x 12.5 TSLs. What'd you do to your tire to ruin it? If it's just a big hole a farm tire place can probably patch it. And I've patched pretty good sized holes myself with patch/plugs.
Like I said, I'm not positive anything is wrong with the tire. I just can't seem to get it to reseat and seal right now. After I get that done, I'll inspect it for other leaks and holes.
As for why I posted this thread. I've been dreaming of bigger tires for a while now, and felt like discussing it. I was planning on trying to get a bigger set around christmas if I could sell enough stuff to afford it. Plus like I said, my BD and christmas is coming up, so I figured, why not start researching
plus, with all these new kinds of tires being released, I wanted to see if there was anything new out there I had missed.
