ok guys I am running 7.60's 5 ribs on my front end. I have recently gone to a 33 blaster rear paddle and it is quite a bit taller than the 1300's I had on before so now I need a taller front tire to match it so I don't look like a 16 year old with new traction bars on his nova! rofl not to meantion with the front pointed down more of the weight of my v-6 is transferred to the front requiring more pressure to do the job and that took away from the ride last trip so I want taller tires to match before the next trip!
I like the 5 ribs for the versitility from sand to dirt to gravel and even a little payment use. I tried to look online last night at the implament selection but limited time and info. does anyone know sizes or a comprable but taller tire that doesn't have an aggressive tread that will fling sand at me everytime I turn?

what is the rim size you are working with?
-
15 tall 5.5 wide i believe, either 5 or 5.5" wide. that's going back 2 years and I'm getting old rofl

the 8.5 15 i just got is right at 31/32"

Cooper makes a 700 15 trailer tire that you could have the outside's buffed off leaving a center rib. I have a set on 5.5 beadlocks for my off road rock tire's and also use them for my trailer loading tires. They stand 32 inches tall. A little heavy but with buffing off the outsides would take a lot of weight away. They will take a licking and keep on kicking a$$.

thanks fast that is something to consider. yummi 32" would be the # I am looking for exactly. I saw 9.50's any idea what height they would be? reason i am asking is because I made a 4" jump in the rear to tractor sized tires and want/need to in the front from my 28's.
they look like tractor sized paddles and if you don't believe me ask enemy! rofl
