Taller tires for free!!!!

[SR5Dave]

I experiment with just about everything with my truck. I try everything I can think of just because its fun. After narrowing some rims, I noticed there was only one hole in the rims to breathe... So I shoved a bolt in it and sealed it up.



Now you have a sealed tire, just like a real truck. SOOO many options! You can glue them and run NEGATIVE pressure to make the tires sink down and grab on everything. YOu have to seal them to run negative pressure beacuse they wont keep a bead and try to suck back in air.

You can, on the other hand, blow them up a bit to hold air. The bead holds GREAT and I havent broken one yet (I drive hard, real hard ;)) Depending on how much you blow them up you can get bigger tires. You can either put your lips between the rims and tires and just blow, or do what I usually do and get out the air compressor w/ a blow gun and blow it at the bead and it pumps RIGHT up. You can gain about 1.5" from stock... all for free!!!



In experiences running these they work AWESOME, and AMAZING when trying to climb beacuse the rear end wont sink from acceleration. They also grip AWESOME because the tread gets spread out and is soft enough. They would probably work better with dampened shocks because they tend to enhance wheel hop because they're bouncy.

Thats pretty neat, I've always liked the look of juggernaut tires cause there tall and narrow. Don't think they would climb better blown up, but I like it, thanks.

Climb great for me on super slick surfaces, on unlevel smooth surfaces (gravel or something) dropping down the pressure would probably work better. Im going to put a valve stem in sometime and seal up the tires so I can run any pressure including way negative ;)

I think this idea is really cool, and I was "trying" to shoot some basketball today. (I'm old white, and wear flip flops most the time.) Anyway, I looked down at my ball , and I saw that little rubber black thingy you stick the needle valve into to pump the ball up. At first when you wrote valve stem I thought bigger like auto. I think if you tap that hole hehe and plug it with something rubber, an eraser, you know something to that effect. It would seal up and you could actually use 1 push or pull of a bike pump.
Just a though, and yes I focus as I shoot ball.

That'd work too... I wonder where I can pick a few up.. Or use normal valve stems and my bike hand pump

Sounds like we have a dirty old guy on our board? Everyone has to have one
