New tires and wheels
« on: March 21, 2011, 05:54:31 AM »
So I've been looking for some paddles and ran up on these.  Of course there in Cali, too far to go take a look.  He sent some good pics, thoughts.  $350 tire and wheel shipped.

Just so they don't have any plugs in them.  A nick out of a paddle or two's not bad.

So should you use patches on inside of tire for a proper repair?  3rd pic shows a knick in sidewall, but they do hold air and he said while not new they are in good shape and no plugs.

I would run a tube before I would plug.  IMO.

Looks good Carl!

I don't know what they are new, but with the beadlocks that seems like a deal.

The beadlock wheels would run close to that price, the tires are about $200 ea shipped.  Think I'm going to jump on 'em.  I got other iron in the fire to worry with.  rofl rofl rofl

You are right, wheels alone are pretty much worth it.

FedEx has these tires and wheels, should be here by end of week.  I'll post up my thought once I actually see in person.  Never bought anything used from across country couldn't see 1st.  Hopefully I will love 'em.

25"  They worked ok in sand, as long as you flip them around where they pull sand in instead of throwing it out.  Stuck twice before I invented this great new wonderful idea. rofl Dumbass  rofl
