Had seen pictures, never knew what they were ? In a search threw ebay these showed up as a picked just for you ... WTF :D(y)

Sold as TRAXXIS tires for one of there big 1/8 monster trucks, they are 17mm hex ( Not splined ) Offset is similar to 4S Backflip LP's, same @ width of 3" and a tad less tread diameter ... Perfect !!!
Installed the Kraton is a tad over 18" wide. Tires are @ 140mm tall ... which is fantastic being better suited for track work than the typical big 160-180mm balloon MT tires :cautious:
Tread blocks on outside edges ( Both in & out ) are rolled inward so they will slide rather than have vehicle traction high side roll .. Nice !!

Here is where I'm STOKED !!!
Rim & Tire have DIFFERENT BEAD DIAMETERS inside to outside 3.8" Inner x 3.0" outer.
Outside bead is recessed somewhat to protect the bead / glue joint. Taller sidewall will also protect bead from tread roll over when hard on power cornering.
Sidewalls are fairly stiff, med firmness foams with semi soft rubber tire and ...... BELTED Too !!!

While new, got out the metallic silver paint and hi-lighted the screws at rim loc and hub ... Spiffy ;)

I'm in Tire Love :love:
