all MIckey Thompson tires I have seen suck in the snow. . .the hybrid radial/bias thing is way too stiff.

That thing looks like a roller skate.

Yup, stock wheelbase, or close to. Scout D44's. For reference of tire size, that is a 38.5 hanging on the back of the jeep :shock:

Guess I don't see the point in a tire that big on a CJ5 :? If all he's got are 44's, just seems like too much rolling mass. At some point you're gonna start breaking things. Besides, it looks kinda silly :)

Me niether. I know he wanted to go big, but I think these were bigger than he expected. To put it in perspective for him I told him that the difference between the 46" tires and the 38.5"'s he had on was like the difference between his 38.5 and 31's. :shock:

Oh yeah :!: I'm guessing you know the guy. First time the trigger gets pulled in anger on that critter, sumthin's gonna break :scared: Personally, I think Jose's about as tired up as a rig like that needs to be :| Steve doesn't seem too interested in going more than 33's on the Scout, altho I wouldn't mind 35's.
