[QUOTE="RustyC, post: 386725, member: 1997"] I also finally decided on some new tires as well. I wanted a 37" pitbull but nobody has them in stock. I was left with just a few choices for a 16.5 rim. Finally chose a 38 x 12.50 X 16.5 TSL SX. These are available in a 10 ply tread and 6 ply sidewall. When I first saw the tires I really thought they were going to be too skinny. I mounted them up and was still unsure. Well I can rest easy now. I was very surprise at how they worked the first day without the sidewalls being broke in. I expected them to be stiff with the 6 ply sidewall but not noticeable different from a 4 ply tire. They should be tough for sure. We rode the buggy all day on Saturday and the only issue was a small coolant bath when it got really hot the first time and starter engagement. Buggy did good on the shakedown run. No oil pressure issues at this point. Climbs good. I figured I would notice the weight in the rear but not at all so far. It is a major change from a full width Jeep. It is very easy to drive fast between the tight trees we ride in often. Brought it home and installed bottom skids this weekend.
