My tires!!

33x13.50 TSL LTB's


mmm... sexy





Got three of them in the back, and one in the passenger's seat:








Only slightly taller than my current tires (33x12.50), but they do looke a hell of a lot meatier comparitively:


Hopefully I can get them mounted before the end of the week... calling the local tire shop tomorrow morning... so excited!

insane.  truck will be unstopbable  in the bush

Until something breaks, because I don't maintain the truck worth shit ;P

Why don't you maintain it, it will last as long as you want it to....

Mostly sarcasm. I try, but sometimes I fuck things up rather than maintaining them... like not tightening down my wheel bearing all the way and having to replace it (from the parts truck) a week later. It needs to last me for a few more years... or at least until I'm out of school and have a full time job.

Yeah I had to build my kick on a limited budget cause of school and such, but I scraped by and I'm happy with it now.

I'll sit here: drooling, as usual.

Hopefully the shop won't be busy and I can get them on tomorrow... if not, then hopefully friday. I wanna get them on ASAP and test em out

I like my LTBs, they kick butt in the mud,
and soft dirt, I swear they hook up like
paddles in the soft stuff.

Let me know if they drag your power down
compaired to the Radials, I've never run a
Radial 33" tire, so I'm curious, I get about
20 MPG, and wonder if I would pickup a few
MPG with radials

Also my starter came yesterday.  I got a rebuilt one for $40 from a guy on e-bay.  I didn't drive it today though because the bike was begging to be ridden!

The offroad capabilities (and price) are why I bought them, so hopefully they do well.

There's definately a noticable loss in power... these tires are MUCH heavier than my radials... Also, the smooth ride of my radials made it nice onroad... I found out what flat spots were all about (and will REALLY find out this winter) on the drive home... thought my truck was gonna fall apart

I've replaced boots a few times, so I'm no CV virgin anymore (in fact, I gotta pick up another boot... one seems to have ripped... damned original 13 year  old boots ).

No, it's not locked up front (or in back)... yet. Of course the ol' skinny pedal is my friend, and I have already broken stuff with those bald-ass radials with liberal usage of it. I'll actually be able to take it easy now, considering I have a bit of tread .



Pics coming soon.

Now, for some pics:

Amazing how just changing the tires makes it look that much more aggressive... I'm sitting here imagining what it would've look like with 35x14.50 boggers




Took a bit of weight to balance it
