Tractor tires anybody??????
I have tried to search for tractor tires but i cant find anything so if anyone knows where i can find information on putting tractor tires on a truck or if you have run them please put it on here. If you have priced them then you can understand why they would seem like the way to go on a truck that will only be used for mud runs and just playing around, and yes i understand they can not be run on the road but i trailer my truck to the mud bogs anyhow so if you can help i would really appreciate it. By the way i saw the article in Petersons 4Wheel & Offroad about a month or two ago about the mud racing in Alabama and they were running them but the magazine didnt give any info about running them.

I don't know what axles you have but these will give even the D60 a serious beating. They hook up like you're driving on pavement so U-joints and all that good junk needs to be upgraded. They are available in sizes smaller than a 45" if I remember right. Check your local tractor supply store. You will have to get rims custom made for them. I've talked to a few guys who run them on 16's without a problem but it's not recommended.

Thanks, this is the type of information im lookin for, i have checked and there are tires available that are for 16 inch rims and are 11" wide and something like 37 inches tall, and they only weigh like 60 or 70 pounds without a wheel. Im lookin into puttin the kind on the front of the 4x4 tractors, not the heavy back ones. Any one know the were i can find the weights of light truck tires of 36 inches an up?
