Future Top Truck Rubber? We Don't Doubt It

World's Biggest Off-Road Tire

Back in the day, it was the humble 35-inch BFG Mud-Terrain. . .


Then it was the 44-inch Bogger, then the 49-inch IROK, and now, the 54-inch TSL Bogger. Yep, the tire of choice at Four Wheeler's Top Truck Challenge has evolved (and grown) quite a bit over the years . . . and now, all you TTC wanna-be's have got another set to drool over: a 59/80R63 (yep, that's 14 feet tall) OTR production tire on a 63-inch wheel from Titan International. Each tire and wheel weighs 12,500 pounds and is load-rated to 100 metric tons (which is, like, what---load range Triple-Z?). Price for a set? We have no idea, but we have little doubt that some crazy-mad wheeler, somewhere, sometime, will show up at Hollister Hills running a set of these puppies in the future. Maybe it'll be you?
