    Tall skinny tires

    I considered XZL's at one point. I liked the way the look and the Idea of them reportedly being a very durable tire. I searched alot. This is the only reasonable prices I could find on XZL in North America: 8.25R16 Michelin XZL g wagon | Military Tires -...

    Those aired down to 10PSI will take you anywhere you want to go and then some.

    Tall skinny tires

    Buy some black silicone RTV and squirt a big blob on a rag and wipe it on the tire filling the cracks. That is how we used to pass JCI in Okinawa with dry rotted tires and brake lines. RTV will fill those cracks and make it look good......It only looks good. It may protect it a bit, but won't...

    Tall skinny tires

    They are "remolds" and there are numerous "seams" The squirted out rubber "flash" contributes to tire noise but could be eliminated with a razor knife...they are what they are. In order of cheap price, if you don't want to spend full price on expensive mud tires it seems from cheap to...

    Tall skinny tires

    On slick mud, especially clay, over the top of semi solid ground these dig down to the solid ground and pull very well providing great traction and directional control. On rocks aired down to 12PSI they flex and grip/grab rock wonderfully not slipping and bouncing like a 33X12.50...

    Tall skinny tires

    I've lost 2 of my extra grip recaps to sidewall damage. I probably could have put a tube in them and continued on. I was worried about the cut radial sidewall coming apart at highway speed.........Yes that worry is perhaps a emotional problem and not based on real danger. I enjoy this...

    I think heavy duty truck tires like the xzl would ride rough and burn more fuel compared to a modern light truck tire. If you are however losing regular tires due to road and rock damage not sure what is better.

    Tall skinny tires

    There's a website out of Canada that sells the 8.25-16 surplus xzls. I think they're too expensive when you add shipping to it. 255 100r 16 is equivalent to 9r 16. Yellow sea is the Chinese company or factory that makes a lot of the xzl clones. There are many sellers on Alibaba. Some will...

    Tall skinny tires

    The 235 85R 16 extra grip retreads from tireacappers are not that tall but the tread is basicly the same. They are radial so longer life, better mpg, better ride................. Group buys on ali baba of 20 or so tires seems to be the way to get odd size tires that are a niche demand. 9R-16...

    Tall skinny tires

    I'd bet that is a super tough tire that won't fail from sidewall or tread damage like a radial. I'd also bet it will be a little rougher ride, wear a bit more on the highway, and be a bit less fuel efficient..................I have tirecappers "extra grip" tread on retreaded on radial cores...

    Tall skinny tires

    A couple thoughts on Tall skinny tires today. Narrow tires have less rolling resistance on loose terrain/don't push as much soil in front of them. Given this for flotation, a larger diameter narrow tire would perform better than a smaller diameter wider tire with the same area of contact...

    Anybody ever use or know someone who used these?: Pneumatic Internal BeadLock — Inner Air Lock – Made in USA - https://www.innerairlock.com/products/beadlocks For awhile I thought about getting some surplus HMMWV wheels/tires because the price is so low and you have beadlocks. The product...

    Tall skinny tires

    When I was in the Army we would carry whatever we needed to on a tactical vehicle no matter what it was rated for. By tactical vehicle specifically I mean a vehicle carrying troops and equipment into combat and not a truck hauling supplies to support combat. When you know a vehicle will be...

    Tall skinny tires

    Took a moment to measure the tread on the extra grip recaps today since I have the new one mounted to compare to the others. New tire has 17/32" of tread, tires with approximately 15-20k miles have 10 /32" of tread. I don't know exactly because my GPS speedometer has only been on for about...

    Tall skinny tires

    Bought another 235 85r 16 "extra grip" recap from tirecappers to replace the one where I cut the sidewall on a rock running 12 PSI on The relic run in uwharrie. The cut tire will go to spare duty. These tires continue to be awesome on slippery clay mud, rocks, and in the woods. I drive...

    Tall skinny tires

    They do look good. Love the 80-83 pickups body style. I used to have an 81'. There are tires marketed as "UTV tires" that seem very much like road vehicle tires(like yours) and there are UTV tires that are obviously not like a road tire. It would be interesting if someone in the tire...
