tire Q (biggest tire vs' breakage)

[MOTERRA]

wondering what is the biggest tire to run on a set of 83' fj/bj60 axles before breakage will be a factor....it will be a light formula toy style buggy and longfields eventually....$$$ ideas welcome

38's and a 180 to 1 didnt last long stock 4 axles in 3 trip went 30 spl long and hit the same spots no problem...also did poly rear to be sure

these two were in 10 ft also broke the rear welded spool and a spring had to winch down hill to get out

Hydro-assist too? Knuckle studs will let go before anything else so concentrate on steering beef first. After the Long/ Poly shafts upgrade, full case lockers, I'd feel comfy runnin 38's.

so 36's would be about the biggest tire I should get for my build...or get long's and go to 38's and hydro assist... thanks guys
