I say that if the DNR needs a maximum width number on paper: 90"
If they need a tire maximum size, I would say whatever the largest street legal D.O.T. approved tire is.

54 boggers are the biggest DOT approved tires i beleive, unless there are some military tires that are larger that are DOT

Another thing.......if the DNR is worried about accidents and liability wouldn't they want wider and more stable vehicles on the trails systems? A vehicle with "full width" axles is alot more stable and safe then a narrow, tipsy vehicle like a Samurai or flatfender jeep.
Lets hear discussion on this.

Ya we went down that road. I said that OK to street legal D.O.T tires. BUT all tire need to be street legal. On all ORV vehicles on DNR land. All 4x4s, All quads and all bikes. There answer to that was that the bikes aren
Come on Jim, lets hear some discussion on the stability of vehicles in relation to width. Which is safer? Wide or narrow?
I see ruts and holes caused by idiots driving vehicles with open differentials and all terrain tires. People with lockers in both axles and "large tires" do less damage to the trail from what I see.
Your kidding right. You think a idiot with a little tire does more damage that a idiot with a large tire & little **** :eeek: Again its the driver not the tire but huge holes speak for themselves.

Its more a issue on center of gravity. A jeep on 33-35s is far less likly to roll then a toyota on 44s Most of the rolls or flops you see are from bigger tired rigs trying to fit through a spot too narrow for them so they go up a tree or bank to get by. Please also remember my earlier post about making the new trails wider for todays more "evolved" rigs. Our biggest problem is that we dont see things the way the agencys do. They study the hell out of enviromental science but spend little or know time teaching and learning about motorized recreation.

thats exactly what you honest repspnse is jim, just a laughing joke.
No facts, no reality. Just more of the opinion you share with almost no one.
