Get you a set of 3 rib tractors and cut slots into them so you can get more traction.I found this to be the cheapest route versus buying a set of the hay rake tires for $200.

Go to the junk yard and get 2 16"donuts out of a Jeep or something and cut the welds out andknock out the center.Then mount some 750x16's and you will have 32.5". Look at my post under buggy builds and scroll down to the wheel.Tires (3 ribs) tacks n tubes are $250.A little tougher to steer but will roll over anything and a soft ride.

Tires pictured look like my Dunlop snow crushers. They're almost 29" tall and bite the muck pretty good.

Most people call these "Home Plate" Tires.. Probably one of the most popular tires used.

Backwards whould make them brake better, the force is the opposite of what a drive tire is. backwards would clean the tread instead of clogging and sliding.

i dont think what tire you got in the font even matters unless you drive the road cause their not even enough weight to matter so go with what you think looks best to you

I like my bald 7.5 x 15 ribbed implement tires. They don't throw mud at you all day long in the trails (and with about 6 oz. of airsoft beads in them they balance real nice at 70 MPH too). If it is that muddy where you are playing you will be steering with the cutters and not the front tires anyway. A bunch of the guys I talked to at DIRT DAYS that had luggy front tires said they look cool and thats about it.

A tall street tire or tall 3 rib tires. All the others just look cool and fling so much crap at the driver. I know I have 7.00-15 power kings. I'm just keeping them for the height they give me and the coolness factor 8) . In reality when you are in the woods must of my steering is with the steering brakes. I use the steering wheel very little.lol Yes, my tree bars are straight still too. :D
