The ads say it will be available in "Winter of 2003"

I went to their website and it doesn't even show the tire on it.





















oh yeah :flipoff2: :flipoff2: :D

The tread pattern looks like the Good~Year WRANGLER MT/R

They have 3-ply poly side and 5-ply (3-poly 2-steel) on the tread.

Maybe your looking at the wrong tire? The tire stacked in the back right might a little, but its a bridgestone, the tire stacked in the back left I dont see looking the same and the mud grappler which is upright... looks nothing like a MT/R

You did notice there were 3 different tires in that pic right:confused:

Huh, thought they were dueler MT's and a set of parnelli jones dirt grips, the nitto looks like the new bfg's to me.

Looks cool and looks like a good tread pattern. Be the guinea pig when they come out. :D

I wonder how many plies on that sidewall, they might be for show trucks with 18-22" wheels:flipoff2:

I think the first ones they are going to produce are for 18" or bigger rims. The sidewall tread looks like they started out with good intent, but ended up just trying to make it look cool.

I wonder how they will perform and what pricing will be like.
