Good luck gettin him to teach ya something..... After meeting him for the first time and him beating me severely, I asked him if he would teach me how to drive and he said nope...... He is definately a cool kid, and has some major skills, and great teachers...... Congrats for a top 10 finish Tyler. | |

| Your having a hard time identifying the tires because they are custom made
The tires are Panther "monster truck" meat grinders that his father, "Joe Durard" aka. "JoesBruiser" (The current Super Class National Champion) Has cut/sectioned/resized/narrowed and glued back together in order to make them the right size for those wheels to work on a super class rig. This is obviously a difficult skill used to win repeated comps. I am trying to find out about it myself. He is sponsored by Panther tire so hopefully they will listen to him and make some tires so they kill the comp and make life easier. They all ready are thanks to him. He is also a crazy intricate (as in highly skilled) driver using a six channel stick radio with independent front and rear throttle/steer to boot. Oh and the rig you see is his young sons rig which is driven on a national level by the eight year old.

They are Panther MeatGrinder's.With a section added to fit the 4.5 wheel and then narrowed. The tires work great they pull verry hard and sidehill even better.I like them almost as much as my Plowboys and on some really tight courses I run a set on the rear to narrow it up a bit.
