The radials are a lot more expensive too aren't they?</end quote></div>

Yeah, I think so. I don't know why.... Its seems like the same amount of work to make the tire.

Here's what I did:

That pic was taken right after a "burnout" in some kinda wet dirt that isn't exactly mud. You can see clumps of dirt stuck to the ***** and see how deep the ***** are biting the ground.

I threw in a front pic for the hell of it. You can see where the ***** bite when I'm on the brakes. That's why I'm kinda glad I don't have Razrs. I think ***** will stop me faster.

new pipe, plus cold dense air, will make it run lean

I'm trying to find tires on the cheap for my/my dads Ozark. Lookin for an all around tire and want to keep it light, because its only a 250. I was thinking of the kenda knarly. any other suggestions

I still haven't gotten around to putting it on. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

I have most of the parts... I think I need a master cylinder yet.

I read the knarlys hook up really well and end up being a bit unpredictable when trying to slide or donut. But if you aint worried about donuts, knarlys are good tires.

Randy, how long did you have to extend your front brake lines with your a-arm project? Looks like you have quite a bit of slack considering how much longer your a-arms are.

There's a metal tab on the frame where the line turns from steel to rubber. I cut that off and welded it to a piece of angle iron that was the same distance as the extra a-arm length. I bought some metal lines from autozone and a couple connectors to make the steel line longer.

I'll probably cut it off and put steel braided lines on it some day.... Maybe I'll make a project out of brakes. My front ones aren't really that good anyway.
