dunefreak Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Been thinking about going on some mild desert rides with my buggy in some of the lesser rocky areas. I picked up some desert tires a while back from @sandmandanbut they are a bit too wide. I'd also like to go with a taller skinny look like some of the desert buggies I've seen racing. Thinking 35x10x15 on 5.5 inch beadlocks might be the look I'm going for. Gives it a decent amount of clearance but not too wide. Any input? I recently saw this Funco down in Havasu at the Mudshark Brewery. Love those shaved Mickey Thompsons. I may even go that route on all 4. If you have any pics of desert tires on your buggy, please post em up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69hondo Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I live in Hesperia and we run the buggy out in Johnson valley occasionally. run out to Slash X periodically. The only thing is the tires will grab little rocks/pebbles and hurl them at the car occasionally. I run 35" BFG mud terrains. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 Awesome. Thanks for the feedback and pics. I was worried about that and am hoping all terrains might be a little less rock throwy. Lol Do you know how wide your front wheels are? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. Just trying to figure out what size to go with. I have a full set of 33x12.50x15 but that is much too wide for the front. I may buy some 33x10 or similar sxs offfroad tire and mount them on 5 or 5.5" wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
