how come i always seem to want a tire size nobody makes?
somebody has to start making a true 40" tire since all the rock crawl orgs seem to use that as a size limit for rigs.


my dream tire would be a 40 x 14 x 17 tsl sx


so what tire size do think would be optimum ?

While schmoozing with the BFG guys in Farmington, they told me they are planning on possibly making something in the 40" range. :cool2:

I agree though, a 40 X 14 SX would be sick.

I want to run a 42" swamper.I like the looks of this size and they are not as wide as the 44"s.But I need to swap over to 1 ton first.Blazin:rasta:

IMHO - a 42x15.50 SX carcass with TSL center tread, Bogger lugs out to the edges, and the side lugs of the Thornbird....

I went from high pressure skinny's (No Camo, they're not my trailering tires :D:D:D, or was that training :D:D:D) to 35's. Now I'm thinking 36's in a TSL. Nica's on 38's but that's two Birfs a trip. Is there an ultimate tire size???

42x16 bogger for an 18" rim

(custom cut of course)

Custom cut 39.5x15x16.5 Boggers that will last for 40,00 miles:D

Tires are like tits. Your always wishing you could get your hands on a larger set.

You get the bogger lugs for their grip, the center TSL tread solves the lateral traction issues people complain about with boggers, the SX carcass is what everyone raves about, and the Thornbird sidfe lugs are IMHO better than any of the other ones Interco pust out...


So just what part of that do you think would not work well?

And what does it have to do with me being from TN? :confused:

Look into 335/80R20 Michelins, aka 12.5R20. In XL and XZL treads. 40.7" tall, 13.3" wide on 20X9" rim. I run 325/85R16 XMLs on my F350 - 38.7" tall, 13.2" wide on 16X10" rims.

Sounds like he knows you have lots of mud and slick rocks!!

I always wanted a set of 44" TSL's. I might be getting them next weekend!!! :D

David, they are just envious of those of us fortunate to live in the Great State Of Tennessee;) and of course I think that tire would rule....I love my 42's but would love more sidewall bite.

Just sitting here fantizing about how set of 42" would work for me. :eek:


I keep a pile of stickers and catalogs in the motorhome. It will be the one with the All Pro Banner on the side at the lake bed.

somebody mentioned that there was gonna be a 39x12.50 tsl,for me that would be a great tire...

My 42x15 TSLs @ 6-10psi measure almost exactly 40" tall. They look pretty wide on the 10" wheel, I think Im gonna like them.

CJ

problem is 42 are not arca legal

"ARCA legal" huh? Sounds like someone is planning on having some fun:D

ya never know ;)

40"x 13.50 TSL for a 16" wheel is what I dream about.

fawk the 16.5 bullshit you have to go thru to run big tires on ton axles with big brakes. And fawk the 17" high dollar bullshit.

Come awwn Interco, I have 16" wheels running out the ass over here:flipoff2: I need something to put on 'em.

Fine, take the tire I described and make it in a ton of sizes:

37x14.50
38.5x14.50
39.5x14.50
40x15
40x17

I can't imagine running bigger than the 36" TSL boggers that I am running now......'cause they are shy of the 38's...

hmmm I think a 38 or 39 BFG 13:50 would rock

old tread or new no matter....

might half to toss me some 50" though for when I get back east to all those "hard" dirt roads

Gotta go with DRM on this one. I think that would be a sick ass tire. I'd run it. Send that over to Interco, see what they say!

I agree with Camo- any aggressive tire over 38" for 17" wheels!

I've got a set of 17x10's I'd love to have some 40" swampers on :D

yea, definitely one of the best lines ever!

i'd suggest though one more version and say -
tires are like tits. you're always wishing you could get your hands on what you do'nt already have at home.

sounds familiar, now does'nt it:D ;)

i wish i could have a 40x14x15 bogger. i love the height of the 39.5s boggers i have now but wish they were the width of the 37x13 boggers i just swapped out

I would love to get a set of 36.5x10 swamper or boggers. That would be a kick ass mud bog tire (max height for the moddified class and skinny!) :D

had a set of 38.5x 11.00x 15 boggers and loved them..Now running 42" swampers...Dream tires would be 40x 12.50x 15 bogger....Dig baby dig!!!

37-15-16 SX

This is more accurate from my perspective... with 44's already, I'm pretty happy with size... I just wish I'd gotten four TSL's instead of two Boggers and two TSL's. Then again, now that they're flat (flat flat flat, I think the Boggers are at about zero psi) they hook up pretty well, so I'm OK with 'em.

Oh, I dunno , something like 46x15.50x17 TSL and TSL-SX

Burn down that rule book, brutha.....power to the people .:rasta:

You said "dream" and then used the word "rules" in the same
discussion...phuk that.:p

Tires are like tits - no matter how great yours, you can't help checking out everyone else's.

42x16-R17 SX! :smokin:

I've said it before. For our rockcrawling trails here I'd like a set of 40x13x15 SX.
Dion

Camo - one guy above said his 42's measure 40" mounted...

Here is what the ARCA rules state:

3. Tire size limits is 40" measured using a measuring device and measuring actual diameter on the wheels that will be used for competition with the vehicle on the ground measuring in a horizontal plane at the tire center line.

So could you run 42's if they only measure 40" mounted while the vehilce is on the ground? It doesn't say anything about what the sidewall says...

A radial SX? Doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose?

Ooops. Typo. I fixed it. I meant a standard bias SX carcass in a 40x13 size for a 15-inch wheel.
Dion

Hey Dion long time! Hows the YJ doing?

Hey Chio: Not bad. Building a set of 60s and going to 38.5 SX. That's about it. Whatever happened to that H2H video? BTW: My junk's running the big 6 cylinder, bro, not a 4-banger like you said on your site. LOL. Give a brother some credit, huh?
Dion

one guy above said his 42's measure 40" mounted...

I think they might in the vertical plane, but I'm not so sure they would in the horizontal plane.

I'll take a set of 40x15x15 SX's :D Hell why not a set of 42x15x15 SX for when I get tired of the fodees:smokin: I also think it would be killer to have the SX's with a more aggresive outer lug like a bogger. Groove and sipe them suckers and get it awn!

For me it would be a 37x13.50x15 SX :smokin:

id like a 35x15.50 MTR center section with TSL outers OH YEAH IT HAS TO BE AN 8 PLY:flipoff2:

Toyzilla, your dream tire is already here man! A 38.5 SX is not reall 38" ya know? I would say between 37" and 38" and if that's too big you got's tha 36 incher backin it up.:D

I would like to see:

42x15 bogger
44x17 sx
48x28 bogger (just for overkill sake)
and rim sizes for every one!!!!

(even the 22's for you guys who want to ride on your gold daytons:flipoff2:)

:rainbow: My dream size tire for my Land Rover Discovery would be like those big huge long tires that are on those manly Monster trucks...They just get my juices flowin......P.S. Mister Camoflauge Please dont cancel my replies it makes me want to come to your house and cry on your shoulder....When can I get a private ride in you rock limo I like the word rock too...Do you think that me and my Land Rover can be in your group for carnage on the con part Duex....:rainbow: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

225/45ZR17 Michelins....oh shit, wrong board ;)

I just want more skinny tires out there (like 10 or wide), as I don't feel the need to build super fenders onto my rigs.

How nice would a 39x13.50 MT/R be? Makes you think, doesnt it?

37 X 15.5 SX
40 X 16 SX

I could use the 37 right now, 40 for after some more mods!

That thing must have about 2 1/2 feet of clearance under the axles!!!

TREEHUGGER, you are :rainbow: gay:rainbow:. Stop posting here, and go hang out at ORC or something.

Someday, I'd like to be able to step up to 32's, maybe 11" wide. That would be sa-weet!:flipoff2:
Really, though. I was thinking like a 36x14x15 MTR. But I can live with 37's:D

i'm just gonna be happy when someone here in town quotes me a real price for mtrs. they quoted me $650 yesterday at 4wpw. then the guy says, " what do you expect, they are hummer tires man ", :eek:

dumb ass, serves me right for walking in there though.

put me down for a 37 x 13.5 x 15 mtr.

That would be a truely fun toy... Now that I think about it, I could write it off through the logging company as a log skidder... Hmmm... :rolleyes: Anyhow, a 40x 13.50x 15 bogger would be cool but I have to agree with DRM, that would be a sic tire in any large size.
:usa:

I am but a poor college student on the east coast who has yet to learn how to weld and fab things. Give me time....Or parts, yea, parts are good :D

Well I have been putting one of my worn out 33-9.50-15 BFGs under my pillow and the fawking tire fairy :flipoff: has yet to arrive. The note says i would like a set of 39.50-14-16 Boggers, then i could grove em up.

The 39.5-18-16.50 or 15 is a tad too wide but thats what i will be getting for Project X. :grinpimp:

Hey you guys running the boggers rear, and tsl swampers up front. Do ya wish they were all boogers or all swampers after running them for a while?

40x15x16.5, or maybe a 42x15x16.5

That can't be good for your neck. Ouch!

9.00X16 TSL. Essentially a 36X9, but it can't be STAMPED "36" 'cause that would throw me out of the "under 36" class. And since we're dreaming, make it a light 2-ply sidewall for reduced weight & better wrinkle. Then, increase the tread depth from the 27/32's you find on 34's to a full inch or better. And go ahead & scallop all of the lugs to make it a directional tire - has to be done at the factory since I'm not allowed to modify the tread. Oh, and don't forget the DOT stamp :D

And just for fun, fire me up a set of Q78 Boggers. I'll let ya know which ones I like best ;)

GUMBO

42 X 15 SX for 16" rims.

yeah, this is a waaaaay old post. sue me.

true 37x10.5r15 swamper, 27/32" tread depth, 9.5" wide TSL tread, SX sidewalls.

I would like a 37x13.5R17 MTR and for someone to start making a cheaper 17" wheel, like the rockcrawlers or 5spokes.

yes.. a true 40" tire.. 14-15" wide.. in something like an SX's pattern... i feel your pain camo

I would like a better selection of 44's. Maybe a 44" SXand or BFG Crawler:D

Just some more selections though would be nice. Not that I have 44's but I plan on skipping all the intermediate sizes that I dont already have and go straight to the top, that way I dont waste time and money in between:D

very well put.....:D
i'd like a set of true 40" tires....or even 40.5"x16" on a 15" rim....with thornbird outer lugs staged everyother and a cut center tsl lug...with bogger mid lugs....would be nice:D

37-15-15 TSL:D

42x16.50x17 Super Swamper special compound, TSL SX, would be bad ass. I would run theese tires, with Walker Evans new Badass bead locks he builds.:eek: make that a true 42inches by the way!:D

hold on lets not forget about BFG Krawler, make one 42inches a true 42, with SX swamper side wall, and Krawler rubber compound on a 17inch wheel would be badass.:D

i really like my 42's but my dream tire would be 42 tsl's with the side wall of a sx. i had 38.5 sx's before the 42's and 35 tsl's before the sx's. tsl's are softer and grip better. they have larger and deeper lugs for equally sized tires. like i said the tsl's grip better in soft dirt and on rocks. the down side is the side walls. i never had a problem with my 35's but i have alreay cut a side wall on one of my 42's and all of the others have gouges bad enough that i can see the cord. they are the best gripping tire i have run but i would love to have the stouter side walls and side lugs to boot. anyway i can dream can't i?

OK, the last couple posts in this thread made by my account were not me. Need to be more careful about logging off the computers at work, have a pretty good idea who did that...

:mad:

As soon as a 48x25x15" booger comes out, I'll definitely turf my 44x19.5x15's. The closest to that though is an AG tire on a 20" rim, which licks nuts and has a HD 10 ply sidewall.

44"-18.5 R16 I can dream?

I'd like to down-size.
40x13.5R on 16.5s pre-production BFG Crawlers, made with the unobtainium rubber, no white letters. If anyone has them, even used I'll pay a grand for each tire. :flipoff2:

I would want a 42x15x16.5 tire w/tsl center lugs, bogger outer lugs, baja claw sidewall lugs. Oh man I would love that tire!

Wes

A tread that automaticly changes going from road, to dirt, to mud, to rocks, to snow.............like a T2 tread :flipoff2:

Really, a tire design like DRM's in Camo's size.
