they measure 44 inches tall and 14 inches across the tread, measured off the rim.
For a comparison i measured a mates brand new 44 swamper (off the rim) it measured 42 inches tall and 15 wide across the tread.

I will have to wait and see how good they are. I think they should work well after i give them a trim up with the grooving gun. With the 20 inch rim you still keep your ground clearance when aired right down, so that is one definate plus i see.
I dont think they are used by that many people in the US, only the bigger 53's or 48's are worth having if you were in the US. WHat is a 44 worth over there? Nothing!
The main reason i went with these is it the cheapest way to get big tyres. No way i will pay $1300 a tyre or whatever the asking price is for a 44.

Posted: Sun Mar 16, 2003 9:29 am

just finished grooving the first tyre.
I cut the tread a bit deeper and split every lug in half.
I also cut light, wide grooves into the sidewalls.
I feel sick from the stinking burning rubber!!

hey mickbj wat happened to this 1 u forget this 1
Posted: Tue Mar 18, 2003 7:13 pm
i was waiting for someone to pick up that!!
It has a vulcanized patch on it, i wasnt sure if i should cut it or not. There was another lug with a little patch the same on it and it was ok after cutting it. I had already changed the blade to cut the sidewalls when i remembered to go back to it. I have another 3 to do so i will do it then.
