I was in Bahrain in 91. I was following a guy driving an a3 that went through a round-about too fast and got it up on one side. He turned right, into the role, off the road and into the sand and set it back down..

I was wondering how hard or easy it is to role a deuce? Where can you get larger tires that wont cost tons of money. I was looking for tires that will get good traction but also hold up to 120 mile travel on a hot highway. If get one I would prob prefer getting the 6 large tires instead of 10.
Don't know where you are in PA but I got mine from Kublos, he's in Upper Northeast PA. Got 4 395's for a very reasonable price on stock rims.. Though some people will say they are not safe on stock rims so use your own judgement.. Not sure about Hot highway travel but they are rated for it.. If you don't want to go that wide he should have other sizes.. check him out you won't be disappointed..

Come again. After reading that my brain feels like I just ate way too much ice cream, way too fast.aua

I RECALL WHEN THE EAGER BEAVER AND M 135 TRUCKS WERE INITIALLY RELEASED THEY HAD SIX WHEELS AND A FENDER BOX IN THE BED FLOOR. tHEY WERE APPARENTLY EASY TO ROLL OVER SO THE DESIGN CHANGED TO TEN TIRES WTIH DUAL WHEELS AND NO FENDER BOX.

My Fire department has a 530-B that has been rolled 2 times that i know of... once out on a brush fire and once just taking a corner too tight on base.. but to be honest i don't think it has bafolds (aww heck i can't spell) in the tank and i don't know the exact situation behind the accidents...
