IMO a 20" wide tire is not skinny, its the fact the things are 54" tall makes them look skinny, same goes for the tread depth, you'd need a 2" lug to make the tire look like it has some good tread I'd like to see guys run these with some 44's in the front or 49 irocs in the front with the 54's in ther rear and with staggered gearing could be intereseting

20" is skinny on a 54" tall tire, thats the whole point...ask someone from back in the day who had "12.00's" how big those things are...they'll tell u that they were huge...now look at say, a 39.5" IROK...12.50 isnt so wide anymore is it?

idk about that, but it couldnt be much different. semi tires are usually thicker ply than a bogger, but a semi tire is also bigger than a 36. besides all you do stick a prybar under the tire to lift it onto the studs, and viola!

ouch...tractor tires are pretty heavy. my grandpa has a Ford 5600, his tires are calcium filled...i think they weigh in at about 800lbs, but that is on the wheel too. i think he just used a chain and another tractor to change that one lol.

get better traction...basically a tractor is just a drivetrain with a seat...more weight = better performance...sorry, dont mean to steal the thread...they should make boggers for tractors lol

they do, just V cut. There's no way a normal ply bogger would stand up to the weight, and by the time you made one heavy enough to handle the weight you might as well grab a set of these. http://www.keyboardbiologist.net/kni...ractorTire.jpg
