Buying a buggy this weekend, was setup for sand. Needs tires bad. I want the non-available firestone 4ply's. What are my ther options? It will be set up for haspin Acres( Mud, hills and dry dirt). It has a pontiac H.O. 2.4l (175ish HP) and a 5 rib with 2x3's.

Don't waste your money on the 45 degree Goodyear’s. Get the 23 degree firestones even if your friend’s say, get the Goodyear’s, don't do it they suck compared to the 23 degree Firestones. Trust me the 23 degree firestones grab much better than any 45 degree tire.

Andf if you have trouble finding those go ahead and buy the tire that works the best. I am a huge fan of Boggers. It takes alot of work and time to get them to work but it's worth it.

Got the Goodyears (4ply) on Steel rims, $300. Not sure that they are 45* tho. If I get my springs done on my trailer this week I may be heading to haspin for a trial run.
