How big of a tire can be put on a Dana 30?

[Trusty258]

Without it breaking all the time- 33 35? Im guessing that 35s would be pushing it, but i figured that i would ask.

Thanks

I have seen a 38 , it all depends on what you do, even a 31 15:50 terra tire can blow apart a 30, what size do you wan to run??

[Trusty258]

I was hoping 33 -35s. maybe. thats if i can afford em. IM not reall planning on putting mutch power to it. I seriously doubt that I'll run a V8 so were talking At most 258 power.

not a daily vehicle and probably fairly light, just a caged buggy.

But then again, 31s wouldnt be too bad, cause I wont be worried about body damage- Mash it and hang on!

:P YESSS Ever seen those Terra tires used ona Jeep? I wonder how well the tread holds up under vehicles heavier than VWs. Those Goodyears are a bit much for me. Ill have a set of boggers first, only because i can run them abover 30 mph :oops:

actually they suck on the road the tread is kinda soft, but off road i would take em over boggers anyday size for size!! :D

SO How many miles would you expect of commuting between the house and the trail before you had no tread? 5000 miles?

They are a wild looking tire. and around here, Nobody would know what they are.

Jesse

[jeepsr4ever]

i would say about that, you could also change em out when you get there!!

[Trusty258]

Thats a whole lot of extra stuff to carry to the trail. But then again, when the trail is only a mile away, no big deal.

Jesse

[jeepsr4ever]

yeah it can be but what if you had a little trailer and you could put your tires on it and drag it to the trail then swao tires, ive done this even with a bottle jack in my younger years.....LOL

[Trusty258]

Ewww. Hi lifts are better than bottle jacks in the dirt.

Jesse

I mud bogged a 30 front with 3:73 gears and 44" Hawgs, never broke it. Just My 2 cents. :twisted:

[fuzz401]

i ran 38 & 36 with 4:56 gears never had a problem mabe drive shaft did a 2 1/2 twist after it snaped the output shaft in the transfer case behind the yoke or a model 20 rear split the case i half but the 30 held up
