I have several kinds now. Keep adding new ones to the collection. Started derbying with only stock street tires. Got these awhile back, but still havnt got to use them yet. Doubled and tubed Got these for a good deal, used them and love it. Unfortunately not doubled, but they are 8 ply with tubes.

exactly how do you double tires? We will eventually be having a video on how-to double tires. Should benefit tons of people. But that wont be until summer starts. The easiest way to explain it.... Find 2 tires, one a little smaller than the other. Use ratchet straps to crush smaller tire in half, then fold in half again. Sit small crushed tire inside big tire. Slowly undo ratchet straps. Tire pops into place inside big tire. Then add tube inside smallest tire. Finally mount on rim.

I normally run some kind of 700-15 heavier ply on the front like a 10ply and a lighter on on the back 6ply this helps from breaking axels

whatever i get my hand on. dont try to buy any cause they usually get popped anyway so basically anything that fits and will hold air. But try to ge the most meaty tires for the rear..... like mud or snow since thats the only things were aloud to run at our fair.

size depends on car but always aggresive and doubled, dont put bald tires on the front if you like being able to steer

Mudders on the rear and or front. I found that 185/75/14"s on big bolt Camery wheels worked really good on the back of my '89 Towncar.
