| I think I found my go to tire... On yesterdays ride I decided to test the durability of these tires (not intentionally) by hitting a huge rock at speed.. The tire did awesome, with a hit like this most tires would have been destroyed beyond repair but this tire is so stiff it put a dent in the beadlock ring and shattered my steering wheel with only a small place on the tire... More time will tell but if they keep this up I may not need another set of tires.. | |

| I read your review, thanks! I'm looking for a 27" tire and don't like the fact that they are short. You said the Grim Reapers are over 26" for that size tire, do you know how the 27's run for the Grim Reaper? I'm also looking at the Dirt Tamers but would prefer 8 ply. Scott I don't know if you seen it but I posted the video up Here[/quote] | |

I don't know if you seen it but I posted the video up Here [/quote] Scott, the 27" Grim Reaper is for a 14" rim only. They do not make them for 12 wheels. I have 26" Reapers and they measured just over 26 3/8". | |

I have 26" Reapers and they measured just over 26 3/8". I sent an e-mail to GBC trying to convince them that it would be beneficial to them and us if they offered the Grim Reaper and the Dirt Commander in 27" for the 12" wheel.. May not amount to nothing but???? | |

| Mud and Guts, I'm with you on that. 14" rim size is the main thing that keeps me looking at other options. | |
