All season radials, can't find a 15" All Terrain tread that is less than 27.7" tall (215/75-15)

these are for road travel primarily, I will have a set of 12" regular ATV tires as well, in stock size

you can visually see how much taller the tires are


gonna have to get a special socket for these wheels, my ½" drive impact socket won't fit, luckily, my 3/8 drive 17mm fit inside the wheel recess... barely

tires are working out well, did a little "logging" today, just pulled a twitch of a half dozen saplings that were 6" dia (dbh) and 40-50 ft long, didn't even need 4wd, no mud, but plenty of leaves & pine needles and a stretch of 15% uphill

up till today, I've not really taken er out on the road with the new tires,

no sidewall roll like off road tires, sticks like glue, like driving a tall go-cart, still have 35psi in em

I drove to the dealer with it about 8 miles, mostly paved, a little bouncy on the dirt section,

I will be without for a while, I hope it ain't all summer like last year, I know there is noise in the front differential when I back up in 4wd , and my brakes lost their fluid, and I'm missing a ton of body screws, it's held together with gorilla tape at the moment

hauled my buggy to Vermont over Labor Day weekend, my brother and his friends have several miles of well maintained trails, even with my "car" tires, only had to use 4wd once for a short steeeeep rocky side trail incline. many of his friends are actually thinking of going to street tires, their trails are so well maintained, any vehicle with 6" clearance will work,  Already got as many miles as I have got from a set of offroad tires, and they still look new
