Default Tallest High Lifter Mud Tire To Date



When it comes to the science of mudding, more ground clearance is always a good thing. High Lifter has just unleashed its tallest Outlaw tire yet, coming in at a whopping 34.5":

I guess if you ONLY ride in mud, then they're a good choice. Otherwise, they'll ride rough and rob huge amounts of power on any other surface.

Not only that but the stress on the CV joints , axles would be crazy if they were buried in thick mud. With any thing less then a 800 you would need low range even on hard pack level ground rides.

Yeah, if you get stuck, you're going to need a tractor to pull you out. The cost would be unreal too, probably $1500 for a set of these or more. A set of 32" silverbacks with wheels were selling for $1800 on amazon. You'd have to put the biggest axles you could get on your machine or you couldn't even putt around in your yard without breaking something. Makes for a cool picture but just isn't practical for actual use.
