Thanks Speedy, I didnt know how to do that. Those are the same tires that you posted the link for that are on ebay. I paid $200 and some change for them installed from a local tire distributor. They ordered them in for me.
Theres a suzuki carry for sale in my area, that is insured for road use with carlisle all-trails on it. There not DOT approved so I guess he just decided to take the risk and run them?
All Trails are not speed rated and I doubt they were designed to go 100kmh. ICBC would void his insurance if anything happened so he's taking a gamble there as well. I've been having a hell of a time finding a suitable DOT offroad tire that is any less than 27" tall. :frustration: Make due with snow tires for now.
He must have had it inspected with the proper tires, then switched them out for the All-Trails later. Question? Does he have the A-T's mounted on aftermarket wheels? Maybe the standard ones are available and come with it. Maybe it's not presently licensed and he just included the fact that it can be licensed as a 'plum', as well as the fact that he has off-road tires with it. With most ads, you pay by the word, and he didn't care to go into detail. Just playing devil's advocate.
They certainly do look better with some ATV tires, as long as he informs prospective buyers they are not for street use.
Actually I never saw it in a ad, just in person. It was parked in a parking lot in the victoria/esquimalt area. Yes it had aftermarket wheels, they were ITP SS Aloys. I stopped and had look at it cause there was a for sale sign on the back. Its there almost every day usually around 9-5 ish..I think the owner works across the street. Good lookin truck but too pricey for me.
Finally remembered to write the info down. They are Titan Trac Loader, size 5.70 - 12. 4 ply and good for 60p.s.i. They are not DOT approved or speed rated. Mine are mounted on the stock rims. They are great in the snow and mud. If you need to keep the tires narrow for some reason, like I do, and can stand the noise at higher speeds, I highly recommend them.
For what it's worth, I spent several hours last night looking for tires on the web. Of all the online dealers of Carlisle tires, tiresavings.com was the cheapest by far. Cheaper than any e-bay store or auction on the same tire and size. They also carry a brand called Sigma. Sigma makes lots of OEM signature brands, so maybe they are alright? The have a 4 ply AG tire in 6-12 for 36 dollars each. It says available in extra heavy duty but I couldn't find any info even on Sigma's homepage. In the UK I found a knobby type rally tire on a companies site, "ears motorsports". They sell a tire brand called Hakka. When I imported Austin Minis four years ago I had a UK company ship over some Minilites (copies) that even with the shipping already mounted on rims was still several hundred dollars cheaper than anyone in the states. The Uk pound at the time was 1.57 dollars, so things have changed abit, but for oddball rally type tires, the brits have it all over us. Personally, I'm going with the Sigma's for mud stuff and turfmasters for dry conditions. I don't work for any of these people, but I was up till 2am looking for the cheapest. Greg
I am now running the 13"x5.5 wheels and Winterforce tires that are available at: http://www.ulmerfarmservice.com/otherstuff.htm Prior to that I had the ITP wheels and Carlisle All Trail. I do most of my running on paved roads, dirt and gravel roads, and logging trails in the mountains of West Virginia. I found the Carlisle was very noisy on paved roads and vibrated at about 70kph on paved roads. They were great in heavy mud and on trails. I'd recommend both the tires and wheels from John at Ulmer Farm Service. He is very much up to date on tire options.
Alright I found a couple pictures of some 29" and 27" super swampers installed. http://mandmtractor.com/_wsn/page3.html
Steel rims? Which ones cross over Wondering what domestic vehicles have steel rims with the 4x110mm pattern that would mount onto the Daihatsu's? Is there a 7" steel rim that cross' over with the right offset? Thanks, SS
i just bought a set of mazda wheels 13 inch they fit the rear fine but the hole in the center is to small to go on the front . same as the wheels off of my rhino. they like about 4mm fitting the front hub. i found some 14 inch itp alum or steel that will fit if the offset and the lugs will work but they are 60 to 70 per wheel .... o well......i think i will cut the center hole out and try that on the mazda wheels............
I've had to have the opening enlarged on wheels at a machine shop B4. Not a big deal unless they have tires mounted. Good Luck. -Greg
I had the hub opening on one wheel enlarged at a machine shop with the tire on it. But it cost me $70. Sam
rear end lock Does anyone know how we can line lock the rear ends, Do they make a kit or a spool or do we jus thave weld them together and keep them off road. I am not have in any luck getting mine legal for the road OSP willnot let me drive them on the road in Ohio. I can" teven get Giego the littel green lizard to insure them. Where can we get Insurance for these things. Thanks

Can you post some pics of the different tires. I am trying to find some mud terrain type truck tires without going to an ATV tire.
can't post a picture on this web site without a link and home page.I don't have a home page if you send your email with your question to me on a private message I can forward some picks Thanks Randy
I have brand new tires with stickers still on them. 155x80x13 or 165x80x13 or 175x80x13 send me your email and I can send picks Thanks
I took the liberty of posting them for you nightair. I think they are exactly what we've been looking for!
I stopped by my friendly local tire shop this weekend, looking for some "Gnarly" street legal Mud and Snow tires for my 92 Daihatsu Hijet. This shop is a BIG, full service tire shop, with hundreds of used rims and tires in inventory, as well as the usual new stuff. They also like to fool around with special projects, and have helped me out before, with my SOA lifted Suzuki Samurai [ 30" Mud Terrains] and with my 4X4 Toyota LE van [ 27"x8.50 R 14" Mud Terrains ]. They did the tires and the wheel alignments for these two rather unusual beasties, and I had many trouble free miles on and off road with their help. I already have new 12" street legal tires on the Hijet [ here in Canada we can drive our KEI trucks on the hiway, so most of our KEIs already have street legal tires on them, to pass federal import and provincial licensing inspections ]. These tires are not particularly agressive, but I have already successfully tested them in snow, in 2WD and 4WD, and at highway speeds [ over 110 KPH ]. They handle surprisingly well around corners too. These particular tires are 145/80 Marshall KR11 Steel belted radials. I was not limiting myself to 12" tires, and even had a set of near new BFG AT 27"X8.50" R 14" tires in the box of the hijet, which just came off my last Toyota 4X4 van, just in case they might have a set of 14" rims to fitthe Hijet's 110 MM 4 bolt pattern. What a disappointment. Not only did they not have 14" rims to fit but they didn't have any 13" rims either. AND, they could not help me with a high tread Mud and Snow tire in 12" or 13" . Apparently, new M&S tires, in 12" and 13", are now being made with much finer tread patterns. They suggested that if I wanted "Gnarly" 12" or 13" tires, I'd have to look around for someone with OLD stock. I guess I'm left with no alternative, but to cram those 14" BFG ATs on to the Hijet. [;{) OR, can anyone out there cross reference the 110 MM 4 bolt pattern Hijet to some other brand [ ? import car? ] with a 13" rim? Thanks Larry Z
I did some looking for you. It appears that the orginal 79-84 Mazda RX7 had a 4-110mm bolt pattern and came with 13" x 5.5" rims. 12mm x 1.5 lugs and a medium +20 offset, Center Bore size unknown.
i just bought a set of those wheels the center hole is to small on the front they fit the rear fine they set out about 1 inch wider i am going to cut the hole out and try them. also itp makes a 14inch aluminum that will fit i had a dealer measure the center hole it will fit thanks.........
I run the 25" Maxxis Bighorns which are a great tire for mud and hardpack trail. THey are a 6 ply and I run 14 lbs in the front and 10 in the rear. Love em! I can still play and sling it around if I want and when I put in 4x4, they will not break traction if I do not want them too. Here is a pick before I had it camo'd. It has the 25's on ITP Type 7 wheels.
Hey Randy I love those BF Goodricch tires for 25.00 each I would love to buy a set of four. Whoever can sell them please PM me so we can get the ball rolling, my current tires are bald so I would do whatever necessary to get a set of those on my mini.
