I made a Badlands tractor w/ Accelera Badak X-Treme, tallest 35" tires made

I wasn't happy with the lateral grip so I did a thing. Might do more later but even with a heated groover it's a workout.

I did that to 5 Creepy crawlers when the tread was getting low. It really makes a difference, but you end up looking like Popeye for a week after each tire
LOL.

but then your mileage calcs are jacked up? Or you are using other means to measure?

I figure it's close enough for ballpark numbers.

I put one on the B2. Doesn't fit very well. These are 4" taller than the 34" Swampers on it.

For shits and giggles I lined up a 40" Mickey MTZ, 35" Badak, and 34" Swamper.

That 34 looks tiny

I need to put a tape on it but it's closer to 32". It's a full 4" shorter than the Badak.

How can they call that a 34" tire?

 

[Tricky Dick]

Trying something different. This is going to look sick.

I present to you the tallest 35" tire made, at 35.6", the Accelera Badak X-Treme. These are ridiculous. I was starting to regret not going 37s but even these are going to rub.

They are deafening at highway speeds.

Comparison shot - with the 33" in the back...

This post is worthless without video!

I get a tiny bit of lug rub on the frame at full lock. I have some 1/4" spacers coming so see if that fixes it. I don't have any lugnuts that will hold the center caps down.

They make some gnarly tracks.

You really need bigger tires. Those just look so weird in your wheel wells

37s might fill it out better but I think these look appropriate in person. I just added another 1/2" in front because I wasn't liking the rake.

At 7.5" tire to fender gap in the front and 8" in the back it's still less than my stock Super Duty and about 1.5" more than stock Sasquatch.

Also added 1/4" spacers in the front and it fixed the little bit of rubbing at full lock.
