Default biggest tire out there

well, i'm looking for huge tires, just the tallest there is. 2.2 as well. right now i'm looking at the proline super swampers. this is for a bogger, and with the way i'm planning on doing the body it won't matter if they are REALLY tall. but they need to be tall, at least 5 inches outer diameter. preferably 6 or higher though.

Proline Chisels on a narrow rim are the biggest your gonna get, just measured mine... exactly 5.5" outer diameter, also just about the best crawler tread u can get right now

well, see, half the reason for this idea of mine is for massive, huge tires, to give it a more unique look for a bogger, and to look almost like a monster truck. that and i will run 2.2's, so 1.9's won't work for me.

i'll look into em, i haven't considered a more normal crawler tread, as i do need a somewhat narrow tread for muddin.

the chisels will be to wide. i am not looking for a monster truck look, just huge tires, the biggest out there. but the issue is i will be running a 2.2 rim, so i'm somewhat limited right now it's looking like super swampers still

The biggest SCALE AND UN-MODIFIED tire is the 2.2 roklox.. but there are bigger non scale tires out there, or you can modify tires and make them bigger, but thats gets costly with the price of tires.

EDIT- actually, the 2.2 outcroppers are the biggest.. and there still pretty scale

hey man, i have a set of hpi rock grabbers i just measured. 5.5" tall. though, i am not sure what you're looking for...in one post you said " to give it a more unique look for a bogger, and to look almost like a monster truck" and then in another you said " i am not looking for a monster truck look"

..they have a pretty aggressive tread pattern. they would prob be good for muddin..i say prob because i have never run them..anyway, hope this helps.

take care and snap some pics when she's done..

Oops! Sorry, I didn't realize I said that. So, I'll probably go with the outcroppers or something, thanks for the help.

I honestly think that 2.2 Rok Lox are the biggest because if you want a tall 2.2 tire thats the tire for you!
