Another vote for 5.75x2.25 mounted. Maybe with some sort of stiffening ribs on the sidewalls to prevent foldover.

AND PLEASE USE DEEPER TREAD! I'm really digging my 1.9's, wish they came in a 4.75" version with DEEPER TREAD.

Hey guys, the more I look at and measure tires, I'm thinking that these need to be in the range of 2.10" to 2.15" wide. The current Rockbeasts are right at 2.25" and even though these new tires are going to be taller, I think that is just too wide. Also, the 1.9 Pits have a tread depth of about .110" and the 2.2's are close to .175", I'm thinking the new ones need to be in the range of .150"....what do you think? Just to compare, the 2.2 IROK's are 5.75" tall by 2.125" wide.

Please think this through because Pitbull is listening to us and wants to make the right tire for us. Thanks, Tim.

Personally, I think that a width of 2.25 would be better. I know its only a .125" difference but i think when the tire is that tall, the wider the better, because of the stability factor. Just my 2cents. But however they turn out they will be awsome.

If you read my post pitbull, I'm going to have to agree with war pig, keep them skinnier in width because scale appearance is a issue, everyone might say 2.25 but none of us truly know how that would look. It could end up looking completely disproportional and then all of them would complain. And anyone reading, you know that's a fact. I'd say just take the 1.9 and scale it up to 5.75 height. Make them 2.15 width just so they are the wider size but allows them to keep their scale look

but as the height of the tire increases so does the width. look at the 1:1. say 37's or even 39's vs 44's. i say 5.75 and just a scunch wider that the 1.9's

Good to know, had no idea the 2.2s right now were 2.25" wide, the tire would have to be 6" tall for those proportions to look right IMO. SO i'm with ya 2.1". Even the new iroks in my eyes look a little wide on some wheels.

5.75 X 2.25 would be perfect and would be going on my TTC truck.
Please make the beads similar to the current design. Nothing is more frustrating that fighting with tire beads that won't go in the rims..

This is exactly how I feel too. If the 2.2 looked just like the 1.9 then I think it would be a killer tire. Just scale the 1.9 up.

As far as this being a performance tire, I disagree. I want scale appearance first. Even on a class 3 or TTC.

Are you talking unmounted? The 2.25" request is mounted. But I would like to see the 1.9 tread just upsized to 5.75" and not too wide like the current 2.2s (but shorten the lug height). The other 5.75" tires equate to a 57.5" 1:1 tire I think lol. My other 5.75" tires look so darn good on my Wraith.

I agree with taking the 1.9 tire up proportionately (width/height) to 5.75". BUT we all won't know what they'll look like without prototypes MOUNTED.

Another vote for 5.75" x 2.1"

I would also like to see some 4.75" ones for 1.9 wheels.
