Why is this in 355 eng forum? Are you talking about foam filled, like tractor tires to prevent flats?

Guess it would work, for tugs only, not hwy driving. But I think it would be pretty expensive, it you got big tires. Might also need bead lock rims to prevent a blown bead.

Some folks might think its cheating, like having a brake light cut off switch, so the other guy doesn't know your brakes are on.

Or like using a manual choke cable to hold the rpm's up, while you are on the brakes and clutch.

Try putting a goose neck ball with a big steel plate in the bed. Hook up to the goose neck ball with a modified trailer hitch/big log chain or cable, harder the other guy pulls, he pulls down on your truck='s more traction for you.

Works good if you truck is taller than their's, any way good luck with it.
