Saw this on the way home, I wonder how hard it would be to shoe them on a Uly rim. They look like they would do good in the dirt, and even are available in slicks too : )

Good lord! Were you near Cape Canaveral? I think those tires might be for the Space Shuttle Crawler!

That was my guess too! I was on I-84 in PA heading back to NY.

My guess is they go on front end loaders or dump trucks. Some of those tires are massive.

I have some of those on my KLX.
They are slightly too tall for the Uly. You'd need to mod the brake lines I think.
They may slow the steering response down a little to much as well.

Not the answer I was hoping for...I was hoping for a gigantic Porsche Carrera 911 GT2.

I've seen those on a Uly before. Apparently you have to trim the knobbies off of the sides to work with the stock trees...

The Uly's rear fender will need to be modified.

Won't fit the XT either, had to retrofit the old style duckbill front fender from the X , now its good , but these suckers are killing the gas mileage. Lets not even talk about the clutch smell.
On a good note I hit a deer last night and the only way I knew it happened is when I parked it in the garage , the carcass was stuck in the tread...
