What tires would you put on this?

Eddyj · Jan 2, 2016

I've been on a couple break in rides. I'm starting to think I need some new rubber. So I'm kinda of up in the air on tire choice. Of corse I would go 43 stickies if money was no object. Those are out of the question.
It has 50% 42 tsl on it now.

My ideals are some new 42's and keep the same rims. Than I would have spares. However I feel the 42's are little small for this rig.

Or 43 sx non stickies, with some 16.5
Or 42.5 skinny boggers
Or 44 boggers

Parks I ride are all the Alabama parks.
What you guys think?

Groove what you got, run em, and keep sticking back a bit till you come up with the extra $7-800 to get 43 stickies

Why not take a tire groover to them bad boys and keep runnin them?

Eddyj · Jan 2, 2016

They are getting cut and getting run till they beg for mercy.
If 43 non-stickey came in 15 inch rim it would be a no brainer.
I was just going to pick up a spare, didn't want to buy a rim and tire if I switch up.

I agree with Nick. Run them until you rat hole enough money to buy some stickies.

Eddyj · Jan 2, 2016

That $700-$800 would go along way toward a rear steer axle.
So let me ask this, if you had a choice would you have rear steer or stickies?

Stickies. Then you don't need rear steering..... booyang

Seriously, I agree with the others. I just have a shitty jeep but adding stickies made it less shitty. Groove and save man. It's worth it.

What these guys said. There worth the money.

I watched you drive. Your limitation is not you or the buggy, its the tires. Save and go to Sticky 43's and never look back.

I think rear steer would be great, but I'd rather have the tires if I had a choice. Now that my anti-wrap is somewhat solved, I can see how much these tires make a difference on the same trails I was struggling on.

44" boggers !

pholmann · Jan 2, 2016

Only way I would run boggers is if you want to play in the mud and not the rocks. They suck on rocks.

Stickies.

You need a steering axle, plus ram, lines, control valve, and a second PS pump + mount (to do rear steer "right" IMO)

Then with non stickies you'll have to beat on it more and use the rear steer more, so you'll at least need stock spline chromo Ouversons for the rear...

This! ...You'd be surprised how much better they will do and you can save up for them stickies

Eddyj · Jan 2, 2016

Alright.... Now you jack holes got me considering spending half the build cost on rims and tires. Stickies come in 16.5? I've seriously never even considered them let alone look into size and pricing.

kmcminn · Jan 2, 2016

I think Goforth sells 16.5 stickies.

Rockwells607 · Jan 2, 2016

I run stickies without rear steer , both are awesome but I make do without tear steer, the stickies are magical

pholmann · Jan 2, 2016

If you listen to the announcer guy at the srrs events you'd think Scotty manufactures the damn things himself. Everyone that goes up the hill does it on them goforth stickies. Plugs the **** outta ole goforth.
