I'll post some pics after I mount them. They're Craftsman (sears) "SNOW" tires. 4.80 x 8... I hope they fit without rubbing!

Truck tires? Those look like john deer tractor tires. you going to attach a plow to that thing and use it as your work horse or something?

you could loose a small animal in the treads of those things. Ide hate to run them on the road the vibration from the treads would buzz the hell out of your hands and feet. Although I bet the ladies would love it.

HAHAH you guys are killing me! Brad I knew you'd enjoy my new truck tires.

The only problem I ran into was the new chain I recently cut to length and installed is now to short. In order to keep the new rear tire from rubbing on the front crossbar of the swingarm I had to slide the axle back about 3/4". Now my chain's to short! I kept the piece of the chain that I originally cut off so I think I can make it work with an additional masterlink.

The tires make the mini sit up about 2" taller! I like that!

Here's the pics.

thanks... I like the look of em but I haven't been able to ride it yet. I bet they're gonna vibrate bigtime on the street. I won't be on the street much though. I'll be out in the wooly swamp!
