I'm sorry, but I am very disappointed with this new tire so far.
First, cost is much more than most anticipated at $110 each
Second, you will probably have to buy a beadlock at $134 for RR if you don't already have one.
Third, it took forever to get thes new tires to dealers.
Fourth, discrepencies with mounting. Directional arrows mean nothing??? Larger diameter toward right side???
Fifth, these new tires do not clear fenders properly??? Now possible rule amemdment to mount fenders higher. Why not just take the fenders off and call them outlaw Legends?
Sixth, tires are much lighter. Now possilbe rule amendment for weight for combo of AR tires and wheels.
Seventh, tires are wider and cars do not fit thru 60" width gauge. Geez, anyone with BFG's will be at a real disadvantage due to wider track width and more bite as compared to the AR tires.
Eight, possilbe wheel offset changes to accomodate above mentioned width change.
Nine, possible interference with exhaust header and other steering components.
And finally Ten, this whole deal is really starting to sound like a can of worms.
I have never personally met the Gimpster, but now I know why he feels the way he does and is hanging it up. Jim's solution of using some sort of street tire comparable to the BFG's sure makes a whole lot of sense. I vote Jim for president! OK, I've said enough on this topic for now.
Have a great weekend to all! Mark
