No kidding, They have to cost over 300each. The 31's are in the 220 price range now.

Ok rock, I agree chains will do it. Sounds like I'd still need an auto tranny too. But not sure I can make a chaindrive small enough for where I ride. Wouldn't want anymore then my 99" wheelbase.

Don't know were lewis got his but a friend got his at S&S Tire in Richmond KY. There 500.oo + each and you need a 16.1 inch wheel or weld a beed around the backside and beed lock the outer of a 16 inch,I think thats what lewis did.

They are some hooking tires. If I was wanting bigger tires that would be the only way to go.
