I have about 80 of these tires left. As far as I know I am the only person who has imported them so far, but Lakesea was at SEMA this year with these tires on display. These are 8 ply bias tires. They do run small as they measure 38.5" unmounted and about the same mounted with 10psi on a 17x9 rim. Tread is supposed to be 28/32" but I have not verified this. It does seem very deep and is definitely deeper than the Goodyear it resembles. They do not crown much at all like most bias ply tires do. They measure a 65 durometer as did 39 Red labels at the same time. I also measured some 35" Trepadors and they measured a 60 durometer. The Goodyear MT/R measures a 82 durometer for comparison. I have also checked 27 other tires, most of which measured mid 70's. Shipping would be around $200-$250 by freight depending on location and could also use Fastenal if one is near you. Please email me for a quote and don't ask for quote if not a serious buyer. My name is Travis and my email is [email protected], I do not have a wesite set up yet. I am located about 30 minutes northeast of Houston Texas.

Interesting looking tire. How much do they weigh?
 
Re: New 40x13.5x17 Laksea mud tires $400 each

The tires weigh 94 lbs. This is my second container of tires from Lakesea in 7 months. I think the. ULTRA 4 and 4400 class buggies are going to buy these up. We will be testing them in two weeks at the WE Rock Dirt Riot race series. I think the sidwall will hold up better than the BFG. Crawler most of them run.

Good looking tire! Looks like a Trep from the top, and a iroc from the side, can't wait to here some feedback.
 
Re:

I'll be keeping my eye out on this. Videos would be sweet of anybody ever comes up with anything.

I was thinking Irok MTR
 
Re: New 40x13.5x17 Laksea mud tires $400 each

Yes it is very similar to the Goodyear. The 37" version is almost identical to the MTR. The 40" is more aggressive with deeper tread and a softer compound than the. MTR. The mtr has a 82 durometer reading. This tire has a 65 durometer. I also measured the mtr stickies and the bfg reds at 65. The maxxis trepador measured 60, as did a. Mickey Thompson drag slick.
 
Re: New 40x13.5x17 Laksea mud tires $400 each

do you have some pics of the 37in tires you speak of? i would be interested in a set of those
 
Re: New 40x13.5x17 Laksea mud tires $400 each

I think Trailworthy Fab did some testing on the 37's a while back. If they aren't the same, then they look very similar.
 
Re: New 40x13.5x17 Laksea mud tires $400 each

I sold all of the 37's, and yes Trailworthy had a set they got from me. This shipment I only got the 40's. The next container I may get mixed, they even have some very aggressive 35's for 16" rims. They are also working on a new tread design at the moment. Here are some pics of the 40's on my buggy. They worked very well at K2, I barely spun a tire anywhere.

Re: New 40x13.5x17 Laksea mud tires $400 each

since u are running these personally how would u say they compasre to a red label or maxxis? im very interested in trying a set
 
Re: New 40x13.5x17 Laksea mud tires $400 each

I'd be down for a set of the 35s for a 16in wheel. I know those would sell like crazy
 
Re: New 40x13.5x17 Laksea mud tires $400 each

Tires are DOT.
 
Re: New 40x13.5x17 Laksea mud tires $400 each

I have not tried the maxxis or the reds and this was the first trip on the buggy so I don't have anything to compare them to.
 
Re: New 40x13.5x17 Laksea mud tires $400 each

Yep, Just like Fuel wheels and half the tires on the road here in the good ole U.S.A. , from China. It's a nice tire and the set we balanced were very round, unlike a Super Swamper, They are also very flat for a bias tire, they do not crown much at all.
