Rusty Where are yall playin at? wish we had stuff like that in the low lands...

So how did they do? I'm interested to see how they did in sand. I would be afraid they would dig down. For the red earth and occasional rock in Guam, they can't be beat!

Those 11.2-16's are 35.5" x 11.8". About like a Q78 swamper except even more agressive!

they dig a deep hole QUICK

Wayne has trademarked the term "Wayne Holed"

if you get stuck with tractor tires you are really, royally, effed

each lug of the tire sweeps an inch or two out from under the tire..... so one tire rotation can drop you onto your frame rail

in first pic truck lost forward momentum and the passenger front tire just started to spin... next pic shows truck in almost same exact spot..... just the Pass front and Drvrs rear wheels are buried

more pics - u can see where drivers front tire had previously dug the hole

Reminds me of another saying:

"Nothing will get you stuck like a 4wd"

 

[bpassmore]

i would break way too much stuff with those tires.

 

[BenMara]

just thought you were local cause of the SC plates

 

[GXO]

Hmm, the cado would look good on those, could run the 37 version no problem too...

someone should buy it and do it up

thought he said something like 225 ea .. ?

How much they weight .. ?

 

[dafun1]

I paid $225 a piece for the the 12.4-16 bridgestones. That is in Guam and I'm sure you could find them for under $200 in the states.

What air pressure do you run with them? Do they flex? Used them on rocks?

 

[dafun1]

I run them at 15 PSI and they have pretty good flex. They are only rated at about 1500lbs a tire with 17 PSI being the max inflation. They are a very soft compound, but I don't know how well they would do in the rocks.

I run a set of titan tru power 12.4 16 measure 37.5 and also 38 bfg km2s on a 95 fzj80. There is no comparisant in the mud tractor tires want even spin in holes bfgs struggle in. Cant say on rocks no rocks here. The tractor tires will pretty much fit if you can run a 35 because they roll off from the center basically rounded were a mud grip is more squared off. You can run this tire with a 3inch lift with no rubbing and they will stuff in the wheel wells with factory flares.

How much did the 12.4-16 titans cost you?
