[QUOTE="crash2, post: 1370038, member: 15940"] This is not to be another argument over which tire/motor/rig does more damage--but simply in your prospective what do you feel does more damage(it goes beyond tire size). If you do not want to think about your answer then please do not post. My toyota has 38.5's powered with a 4.3. I have the power and potential to do allot of damage to the trails.DO I? No. I know a number of guys who run in the 40" flavor and have wheeled with them more than a number of times. Do they tear the trail up also? No. From my prospective tire size has no bearing on the damage we have been seening the last number of years. Do larger tires have the potential for damage? Yes they do. Do smaller tires have the potential for damage? Sure they do. Its my opinion that there are a few reasons the "larger" tires are being blamed for what we have been fighting against but its not the tire size thats the issue. Larger tires are becoming more of a "common" thing these days so they are out there more and more visable and more of a target. With a larger tire you are also seeing larger motors powering them which is just another factor in the mess. The last factor is the number of users and there are alot of "uneducated users" these days. Its my opinion that tire size does not do the damage to the trails--its the guy who has the tools (tires/motor/suspension)that doesn't understand how to use them or the consequences of using them improperly. [B]"Large tires do not do damage to our trails----users do"[/B] Again this thread is here to hear your prospective and I am not interested in any stupid drama BULLSHIT. [/QUOTE]
