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.

Ya, that's it. He's put it up for sale off and on over the years.

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.
