Great tire.
Sup hunny, I was hoping you'd see this thread. Do you have any pics of your old buggy with those tires on it? I think this is what we'll do next.

JL ws-6, no I don't have any shots of the actual cutting of the fenders and fenderwell work. Here's a shot sitting in the pits..

Did you have to cut alot to get them on there? It looks like the bottom of the wheelwell on the front and back is opened up a good amount, probably more then I can do myself in my garage....... probably gonna be a job for a body guy, which in that case I mine as well minitub it at the same time

John, on the big end that tire Jugger runs will grow bigger than the 30x10.5R radial slick. The 29x10 is also 2 lbs heavier per tire than the lightweight radial slick which weighs 22lbs.
You really should try the radial......you won't be disappointed, I promise !

That's the tire I'm going with. I think the actual diameter is 29.5.
I have it on order for a few weeks now.
