Default OG Hilux into snow tires

Decided to start the day with a bit of tire surgery

Hacked up some old OG Hilux tires (don't cry, they were worn out and dry-rotted) into an old-school snow tire for the back of my Clod-bodied scaler.

Took 3 tires to make this one, since I increased the OD to 94mm. Plus the Hi-Lift tire that donated its sidewalls. So it ain't exactly cost-effective unless you have lots of tires laying around. But I got the look I wanted.

Not bad, Ive always liked how they look stock though. Increasing the diameter is always good. Get some dust/use on them so the glue lines are less distracting - the tread pattern looks pretty cool now
