Well I think I have kinda changed my mind and might go with the BFG's for a couple reasons. BFG now makes an E rated 305/65 in an 18. That size is closest to what I am running right now. I don't want a drastic change in the size tire that I currently have. Also, they are a more common tire and easier to find than the Nittos.
Regardless of what I end up getting, I am DEFINITELY gonna be religious about rotating them. Every oil change it will get a rotate since I use the truck so much. I want this next set of tires to last as long as possible. Thanks again for all the input, everyone. It helped out a bunch.
I have never needed reverse at Dumont. :beer_bang: I prefer the simplicity of less powertrain components and a live axle.
I have a Short Sand Car and absolutley love it. My last car was an older SSC and even it did incredible through the dunes. My new car (07 SSC) handles the rough extremely well, you can turn on a dime- just chop the throttle and hammer it, and it is plenty fast even without a turbo.
Other than Sinister and Short, other very good busa cars are Tom Pro Design and King...IMO. It's kind of a matter of opinion/ personal preferance at that point. I wouldn't recommend any other builder when it comes to minis though.
You don't ncessarily need beadlocks. I have never had any on my car and I haven't had any issues. Sinister (Yoshi) seems to build some pretty well designed cars. Good luck.
well I'll give you a few reason why...
1) They are M/T's and I'm trying to stay away from MT's
2) I don't like the looks of them
3) They don't make them in my size anyways
4) Most of them aren't E rated.
5) I don't like em. Oh wait I already said that.
I am pretty set on probably the 285/75/18 E rated Nittos, but not 100% sure yet.
Huh? Quad wrecks are way worse than 2 wheeler crashes. In a crash, quads get more out of control than a 2 wheeler and weigh a hell of alot more when they land on you. You can just lay a bike down or bail way easier when on 2 wheels. Just my .02.
Vendors needed? or input for vendors needed?
I would say basic things like hardware (bolts/ nuts, etc), tires/ rims for those who bend rims and can't get their tires to seal, various types of oil, jets, chain/ sprockets, CV's, tire sealant, etc.
Thanks Dave, but with the money I have already spend on my wheels I'd like to stay with them. I like them better anyways. I hear what your saying though. You could get your hands on some take offs pretty cheap I'm sure.
Aren't those like 35's? Those come on H3's? I thought they were 305's that came on the H2, not H3.
