skid steer tires?

[98slv]

So I have the chance to buy four brand new skid steer tires for my truck. hundred bucks a piece and I'm really considering it they are 37.5inches tall and the tread is 10.5 across and need an 18inch wheel

these would be a trail/mud tire only, no worries, highway use would be seen with these.

even if you didn't use them id still but them for 100 a tire that's crazy cheap you would have no problem flipping them worste case scenario. but as far as your question goes I don't see any reason you couldn't use em I mean people use tractor/implement tires all the time for mud trucks

Well i know that they would physically (spelling?) work on the truck, just didn't know about performance? They are really close to a bogger, whereas neither have very little lateral stability, but they have absolutely no sidewall tread. another thing is they are really heavy and I would never see any sidewall bulge even aired really far down. Didn't know if anyone had run them before.

Oh heeeelllll yeah. Your runnin 37s already, might as well throw somethin on there that'll sling some serious muck

another picture. These are next to my friends truck, those are 37 inch militarys. According to Titan's website they weigh 96 lbs and my 37inch yokohama's weigh 73. He is way down in southwest OK so I can't really just go get them anytime soon. But he said the next time he gets paid he'll go get the other four for me.

o yea, plus he's shaving some out of the centers to open them up a bit.

So what is your friend going to charge to haul them out to you?

I definitely would not rock them on the street, or above 20mph. What is the RATED top speed of a skid steer(or preferably tires)?

I would get them if you trailer you truck. Going to look MFBA, and will grip anything with enough weight on them. What do skids weigh 5-8k lbs?

i think its a good idea,,, ive seen many trucks rockin tractor tires and they dont have much if any side wall tread,,, i think youll be fine if you just using them for off road use
