[QUOTE="ibismojo, post: 16573370, member: 10591"] 15 years ago, 37's were the typical tire size for Trophy Trucks....you know 24" of travel up front, 36" in the rear, 800 hp going through a Chevy 3 speed auto (imagine the power it's putting down at the wheels lol). Guess what tire size trophy trucks are running now.....40's. Why? Makes those rocks, whoops, and holes a lot smaller, taking some of the work off the suspension. It's a similar reason why mountain bikes went from 26" tires to 29"...they roll over things easier. BTW, the power on Trophy Trucks...hasn't increased much, if at all. What has changed is the advent of AWD thanks to King of the Hammers. And not just regular AWD, front wheels driven through portals. Those portals you see on the Bronco 4600 Ford revealed this week are used on the fastest Trophy Trucks running today (similar design, not those exact ones as they were custom built for the Bronco by 74 Weld).
