The real big 12r24's are actually tubed tires and lockring wheels. I was very surprised they still offered those on new trucks. Most of those are export trucks with those tires though too.

Cool stuff! That 4WD front axle is simply MASSIVE! I saw a semi loaded with very HD front axles headed north from Chicago, I'm guessing to the Oshkosh plant. The scale on big trucks is hard to believe!
