i watched the TTC '06 video and that Burton guy with the TJ and rocks had his 53s down to 0psi :eek: .....AND THEY STILL DIDN'T FLEX WELL!!! but they still seemed to work well....or maybe it was just the sheer size of the tires that gave him an advantage???

I was watching that guy last night on the Outdoor Channel.
0psi and the tires didnt seem to flex at all.
But then, how heavy is a TJ on Rockwells? 1500 a corner?

If you decide to get rid of the 49's and they are for a 16.5" rim you have a buyer right here.

On a side note, is there anywhere local to get these tires. They are fairly inexpensive, but I hate shipping shit like that. All of my hooligan friends think I need to run these for some reason so I am looking into it. It seems like its more trouble than its worth, but hey thats the story of my life!!!

Hey that perfectly defines my 4runner on a whole. Actually I believe the next set of tires will either be the 49" iroks or for some unbeknown reason the 47" LTB. We will see how I do on 44's for now.

The biggest problem with military tires is the weight rating. Most military tires in that size are rated F or G (or higher) and designed for vehicles that weigh over 25,000#. Ergo, no flex on a 5,000# rig.
