...and comes in sizes that I'm not interested in running.

Looks cool. Don't know how it would perform out here in the sharp stuff.

I didn't even look at the weight! Well, if it was in kilograms, it would be even heavier!

If it was in kg it would weigh less, but the websites weights are in lbs, i highly doubt a 37" tire weighs 32lbs.


I want the irok nd, they are a great tire, and hopefully they come out with the 255/85/16 tire size.

Umm... It has bullets for tread. That's almost as lame as flames on the Nitto Dune Grappler.

Looks perfect for guys with 20" rims on their 4x4. No thanks.

Nope.

1 kg = 2.2 lbs.

So, 76 kgs = 167 lbs.

Those tires look cool, but not really interested in the sizes.

LTB's are awesome OFF road, but as good as they are offroad, they suck equally bad on road.

If the truck sees any time on the road, be sure to add $ for another set of tires to use then.

Seriously - if you've never had bias ply tires, you don't know how spoiled you are by radials...

haha i dont think ill ever understand graphics on a tire.

Im stickin to Dunlop Mudrovers and bfg muds.. As far as interco goes the swampers seem to be their best run.

But IME best bang, performance, driveability for your buck definetly goes to Dunlop and BFG.

No need to feel like an idiot at all.

I only know that cuz its been drilled into my head by various chem/physics/math classes over the years. I rather wish I didn't remember it to be honest, LOL.

However, if you expect to have a future as a drug dealer, you better get it straight!!!!!!!!

I like the new military theme they went with on the tread design.
