How about some farm tractor tires. This is my buddies bike. He say's it handles well, has ribs for smooth highway riding and knobby sidewalls for off roading. Tires must weigh 40-50lbs ea.






 
I've seen these tires (and some similar industrial designs) popping up a bunch lately. Fucking ridiculous.
 
Well if it looks like a duck, and it walks like a duck? Ha-ha. I mean, this is just the logical extension (conclusion? probably not!) of what folks have been doing with Hardlyablesons for ages now. So many Harley owners who tell me "it don't matter how much (part-X) WEIGHS, 'cause it's a HARLEY...." But yeah, if it sounds like a tractor, runs about as fast as a tractor, and rides/handles like a tractor? And the wheels that are on that bike aren't Tractor wheels they're HARLEY wheels - the job was already about 99% DONE. Might as well finish it!

Now we can finally have a bike to compete in truck-&-tractor-pull! Betcha this thing could till a really neat straight line, too. Hook her up to an old mule plow, giver a go.

-S.
 
I'd love to see a weight comparison between the tractor tires & the Coker-Tire replica FIRESTONE rubber that's so popular with the Bobber/Café/Tractor-whoops-I-mean-TRACKER builders these days. Probably not that big of a difference.
 
Yeah but that Knuckle..... so pretty. There were at least two old chops with tires like that at Barber. I saw one of them riding around a fair bit. I'd give it a go.
 
It's not easily explained, but i dig it. I would enjoy the hell out of it if only for the laughs... Keep on Rockin in a Free World!!
 
If I owned a whole lot of land and had to have a utility vehicle of some kind... I would pick that over a quad.

All it needs now is a flat deck hack with a matching wheel that is driven.

Reminds me of a ROKON.
