Big Rock Tire question?

[Stapleton219]

I've blown a factory tire on my Big Rock, it ripped about 1 inch in the middle. My question is, do you guys recommend buying factory replacement wheels/tires or replacing with aftermarket like the Pro Line Trenchers?

I can get a new set of 4 factory wheels/tires for $70, or a set of 4 Pro Line trenchers for $90. What is your opinion?

If I buy the set of factory tires/wheels, I can just replace 1 at a time as they rip, if I buy the set of Trenchers, I have no spares.

No one can take the decision for you...
The Trenchers will have more grip. But gives also more force to the diff if it´s locked.
My girlfriend had crashed a rim on her Nero in the snow, We just had buy two originals (one package), so we have one wheel as spare part.
On my Big Rock I mounted Big Joe II with offset.
The have also much more grip but the rubber is very soft and on 6S I have to take much care don´t make them to pizza cutters.
The originals are better in that point but together with less grip...

I think other guys who use the trenchers will give you more informations.

Will the trenchers or badlands fit on my stock Big Rock wheel?

uh, sorry, never measured the original rim. My tires are already mounted that I can change them quick if it is necessary.
If you check the forum, you will find something about that, I remind to red something about that in the past.
But I do not remind wich theme it was.
I have no trenchers, so I can't give you this information quite well.
