If someone was dumb enough to buy dedicated trophy truck tires to run on their pimp ryde on the street...I'd be the first person to step up and slap them in the face.

I saw one like that in co springs, but it had gold spinners and gold front grill, lowered to about a half inch off the ground. Makes you wonder....

Doesn't look like a too bad of a tire but their is no way I would spend that much on just one.

not for a 31 heck folks can get better deals on a 44 tsl ! found a 35 baja on sams sight went for almost 450 .00!

That's cheap...4wheelparts.com has them for over $500 for the 35x12.50. They're top dollar racing tires, definitely not built for our applications. Trophy trucks run these tires....not many other tires can handle the high speeds in the desert.

i like the tread design looks alot like the bfg mt's ,, but what makes the carcass so different and expensive ..kevlar lining and 14 karat raised letters ?
seriously whats different to warrant the price ...
i watch alot of the score trucks and alot still use bfg mt ko 's and at's and the big names running the baja's even seen some using the nittos last year on leave .

probably kevlar plies and the high tolerances that alot of tires don't get. Probably engineering overhead and the lack of volume they sell to make up for the initial costs.
