|  SUPER TIRE!!!!!! I was going to keep this a secret but I am too excited not to get people interested. I keep hearing crawler guys asking for a kong sized tire with a more aggressive tread pattern, like the Swamp Dog. After much testing with my narrowed Kongs, I have found that they hold up to ANYTHING and they are the best tire I could have hoped for. The gluing part was what concerned me as far as durability. Well, now that I know it works well, here is my new project that I've started. It's simple: I am removing the sidewalls from the Kongs. Cutting the tire into three pieces, basically. There is two sidewalls left and the tread section from the top, which I will just discard. I then am cutting the top tread section and side lugs(all in one long circular strip) off of a Swamp Dog tire and mating it with the two Kong Side walls. That's all there is to it. I will soon have 8 inch tall Swamp Dogs, Digler style!!!!!!! |

| Re: SUPER TIRE!!!!!! I am curious as to how you will accomplish this. You will need more than 4 swamp dogs to create a circumfrance equal to that of a Kong. You might have access to the tires but it would cost someone almost $200 for a set of RC tires that "might work". I hope this works becuase it would be hella sweet. |

| Re: SUPER TIRE!!!!!! Bark, you hit the nail on the head. That is my biggest problem and concern, is "lengthening" the tread area. Mucho Dolores! |
