I bought a set of Fuel Gripper 30x10x14 tires. These things are awesome with traction in the rocks wet or dry.

So we did the Sandmines and WidowMaker yesterday. Should have paid more attention to tire pressure. Coming down the boulder field below WidowMaker, i tagged a rock really hard and killed a sidwall.

About a month ago i had ordered a new tire and wheel combo for a trail spare.

New tire is smaller than the old set! Same size supposed to be.

Whatever happened to truth in advertising?

New ones measure a little over 14 " from ground to center of hub. Old ones measure a bit over 15".

Old one on right, new style on left. I called and was told, " yea , the earlier ones measured the same as our new 32" tires."



WTF?.

Yeah that’s not good on your locked diff.
If i can not get the sidewall repaired on the original tire, i may just suck it up and ditch the Fuel's.... i have a sidewall repair in the right front one as well. Rocks are killing me.

What do they measure overall? I deffinitely do not want to go smaller than 28".

I really like the clearance with the true 30....but the power with 28's... Decisions...

The berserkers run big.. the 30” berserkers kill my bottom end. I love them but I hate that about them. I think the 28’s are the happy median.

on the Berserkers again. I'd really like to get a set. I have a deluxe 5 seater with the factory 14" wheels. I would rather go 12" but I don't have money to throw around anymore and the Berserkers themselves will be tough to afford by themselves... So how do you think 28x10x14 Berserkers would work on the factory rims? Has anyone done that combination yet? I have seen some people using the same size tire front and rear with factory rims and they seem to like it. I don't want to go any wider because I want to keep the mud off of me and a lot of our riding is tight trails

I sont think youll have any issue running them on factory rims...keep an eye on their site. They run 50% off sales quite often. Probably will run one about Valentine's day

I had seen that they have some deals here and there... $100 a piece would be awesome for those tires.

I feel your tire pain..
But this time it worked in my favor.
I ordered a Bighorn 27x9x14R and new rim as a spare..
A 29x9x14R showed up at my door.
Shazam!!, that helped me decide on my next 3 tires, which will be 29 Bighorn radials.
