Ottsix Voodoo KLR

It looks like there is no pleasing the 1.9 crowd might as well just scale it up to 2.2

I liked the original 4.5" x 1.5".... Just gonna throw that out there

[Pegasix]

You got my money just tell me where to send it for 3 sets

Yesterday I went to a few tire stores and started measuring 1:1 tires. After doing some math, here's what we're looking at: First of all, I know the tires come in many sizes that aren't on the showroom floor but after taking physical measurements, 4.75 x 1.5 would be strangely narrow in the real world. I couldn't find anything even close in terms of ratio. 1.75 is almost spot on.

From what ive read and my own opinion aside. I guess you need to decide what market your trying to target. Youll never please everyone. The scale market has a ton of tires to choose from and the u4 market is using what the scale market offers. I personally would build a tire that would be more suited for the u4 guys and still have it sized so the scale guys can still use it. I think the taller tire suits the u4 market better as far as 1.9 tires are concerned. They dont have separate courses for the different u4 classes like they do for scale comps. So the 1.9 u4 guys have to run on the same course as a 2.2 rig. Anyways thats my two cents.

Traditionally the most common sizes used in 1:1 trail rigs (not counting wheel size):

Flotation:
33x12.50
35x12.50
37x12.50

Metric:
(based on a 16" wheel)--
285/75 = 33x12.x
315/75 = 35x12.x

12" to 12.50" is the common width once you step above stock-size tires, and until you get into +38" tires (or the guys running 33x15.50 thornbirds, sigh).

1:1 Comp rigs probably run different proportions, I don't follow them so I wouldn't know.

I don't comp, won't comp, just a scale fan here, and was looking forward to something a bit skinny/proportional. I run cut-up 1.9 Treps, and some RC4WD Rocky Country 1.55. There's enough ballooned-out tires already. But in the end, opinions are indeed like ***holes, and you gotta make what will sell.

BTW pizzacutters rule! ;)

I'll consider any size as long as the sidewalls are thin.

[Wraith913]

I would get a set if they are the 4.5x1.5 but the larger option doesn't interest me

[maxbonv]

For my taste, the measure 4.5 x 1.5 is excellent, in case of my car for extreme race, I use axle Pure Spider,
their particular shape as the real axles Atomic allows me to have great performance and low center of gravity
without using large diameter tires. In case I want to use on my Twin Hammers, would be certainly much more in scale.
This is my opinion.

[rebuilder]

yup...not interested either in huge tires...there is already a good selection out there...middle range would be my need

Problem with everything in this hobby is the ratio. ..... nothing offered is truly "scale".
A TF2 body is the same size as a Tundra body and then the honcho is even bigger.

The fact that your asking what size is killer - what other tire maker has done this?

But when can I play with a set, cause I'm not bothered whatever size you make them.

Im with you man my hilux build has a 13.25" wheelbase and nothing is perfectly scale because if you think about it a 4.6 tall tire on a hilux. on a reel hilux rig it would only be a 40" when if you scaled a 4.6 up you would have a 46" tire.


and im getting a set of these no matter what size they are.

[awdtsi]

My vote is a 4.75" tire. In my experience a 4.75" tire performs so much better on the rocks than a 4.5" tire.

[Menace Kustoms]

I'm still building my truck, so either size would fit. I just really want some new, sticky tires. All of my stuff is old hand me downs right now. These look awesome.

[Exocaged]

Wheels: Check
CI Foams: Check
4.75 OTTSIX KLR tires: ..........

Not true...

[crawl-o-matic]

OK guys and gals, we've finalized the KLR
