Well I have the old tube bias-ply tires on stock 2 piece rims. The tires on the truck are probally close to 20 years old. I have even inflated a flat tire while on the truck (the ring faces the inside). Fomoko I did post on the saskatoon show and shine but the truck is far from road worthy (no brakes, tranny shifter and guages except tach).

Dman dood ya'll got some big ones! but if Canadian speed is anything like your money that would translate into about 17.6 MPH in the US... LOL!
We've only driven our 56 once since we got it, but that was for 2K miles in 3 days. I know, I mean "believe", it can top 85 rather easily. Since it has a 0.50 sixth gear and 3.70 rear it's just loafing along barely above a fast idle at that speed, so I think it's drag coeficient of a barn would be the limiting factor in keeping it below the double century mark, but I confine my racing to the race course so I probably will never find out. I have done > 125 across a field, but that was on a snowmobile.
