    I'd have to agree with that - TSL's dryrot or not are the ****.

    The problem is there are only 3 of them that have intact sidewalls.

    It cannot be patched, but as luck has it, I have a couple of spares, so I am going to run them until after Alto at least

    I have a couple spares sitting in a shed you could borrow if needed, a few are actually mounted on wheels that will work too.

    Matching tires are not a requirement for Alto. I think you'll still pass the safety inspection.

    Yes, I am perfectly fine with the non-matched tires, I will fit in better!

    I have an extra 35x12.50 BFG mud terrian. What if you put the 2 mud terrains on the front to take some stress of the front shafts and increase steering and ran the TSL's in the rear. I think it would be an awesome setup.

    So I found a 35-16-16.5 bogger on the tire trailer in the back the other day. Since I could not find a new 16.5 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern rim, I decided to make one, klogger style

    Nice. I'd be willing to bet that wheel is capable of handling more speed than a bogger can.

    Man, now my klogger wheels aren't special, they're just the big retard version.

    Sam, did you take the tire off of that other wheel before you plasma cut the center off? Ever seen videos of pyrolysis?
