Default anyone running a tire like this?

Wanted to know if anyone is running a tire with a similar tread pattern? Also, would like to know how they perform and what a set like this would cost

Those are on a 2 ton truck with knuckle boom on it. Theres no telling how lonzgbthey have been on there. We can't even find anymore for that truck. We use a ton truck with tires like that on the back and that truck will go anywhere and itsonly 2wd. I think they would be great tires for my jeep

do you know why that truck goes anywhere? because it weighs a metric **** ton. it has nothing to do with those 100 year old tires.

Its a dually and It acctually weighs 7500lbs.
And that's about like saying it would go anywhere with street tires on it... there's a reason everybody around here runs these kinds of tires on all there old farm trucks.

the reason? bc theyre cheap/free, heavy as ****, have deep grooves for mud trucks with high horsepower, and dont puncture.

reasons not to? theyre heavy as ****, they will vibrate to hell at speeds above 40-50mph, have a tread pattern designed by a dude with a tire groover in 1935 in some shed that wont take well to pavement... should i keep going?

modern tires arent a scam, theyre better in every way. they just dont make 52" KM2s for a 22.5" farm wheel.

I wasn't asking about modern tires. I want tires like the ones in the pictures wich is why I asked about them. And our ton truck is not a high horsepower mud truck. It has a strait 6. Not what I would call high horsepower. I could go to walmart and buy "modern tires".

And we don't have any vibration problems out of ours. The only problom we do have is the tires on the 2 ton are nylon so they get flat spots if it sits longer than a week.

Go to www.cokertire.com and look at their truck and jeep tires. I think you'll find the tire you're looking for. Hope that helps.
