Those look good. What size are they?
I am more envious of the shop. Whose is it?

they are 38.5x11. they are light weight since they are so skinny. they weigh 74 lbs each and a 35x14.50 bogger weighs 73. The shop is the maintenance shed on the golf course at Canebrake in Hattiesburg. that's where my brother works. you should see how big it is in the other direction.

It is amazing how our little babies (Jeeps) grow up. That looks sweet! Anna won't be able to go to sleep on the road now.

nope, if she falls asleep now, she must be sick. I will have to start carrying ear plugs with me. It will now be on a trailer for most rides.

Are you going to run them all of the time or just as trail tires? Did you buy them new?
I have a friend in Laurel that runs this tire on his buggy and he likes them. They give great ground clearance and with them being light, they are kind on your drivetrain. The only disadvantage that I see is they have a small contact patch which can sometimes be important on the rocks.

I do like the way they look a 100 times better, but to tell you the truth, I really don't have any complaints about the old tires other than just being worn out. I am going to run these all the time for now, but really I don't do a whole lot of driving on the street, just to work and back which is about 5 miles a day. I may get me another set of all terrains or something for street tires after hunting season.

5.5" and some sheet metal cutting. I plan a small body lift and mml to help clear and so I can tuck my skid back up out of the way.
