    We were wheeling this weekend and saw a zuki with tractor lug tires on it. That thing was open front and rear, with a soa and it went everywhere. I was impressed.

    Just wondered if anyone else was doing it and what sizes.

    Of course this would not work on the street,,, but for trail it seems pretty good.

    I have a 3B with four tractor lug tires. They are 16 inch diamater and have tubes in them.

    I went through a catalog at a tire dealer and found them; they ordered them and mounted them.

    They're illegal for road use, but I just use my 3b around the place here and I like 'em. They tend to cut into softer dirt (and lawns) so they aren't really good if you are using them on grass.

    I run the above mentioned terra tires in the dunes

    I also have run Delta "floats" ; look like front tractor tires, 11.00-15 cross grooved to my liking; I have them on 15" wide wheels also

    Ran the Good Year Teras for awhile.
    Go with the TSL Boggers if you want that look. DOT legal.
