I was just perusing Interco's web site checking out available tire sizes, and I saw that they have a new IROK rock-crawling tire that's apparently so new, even a Google search turns up nothing (at the time of this writing). I thought I'd post a link and a photo for those of you who are interested.

Unfortunately, their web site doesn't give much information about its construction (bias vs. radial, etc.) but since it's apparently designed solely as a rockcrawling tire, I'm assuming it's bias ply and noisy and uncomfortable on the street. But with its more-open-than-even-the-regular-Super-Swampers tread design (which, you'll also note is unidirectional!) I'm guessing this will be an awesome tire for the trail.

So who'll be first to try 'em out? [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Veeeerrrrryyyyy iiinnntttteeeerrrrreeeessstttiiinnngg!!!! Big void,unidirectional & siping for better wet contol,should be a winner!

The smallest size is a 36" and get this
"In the news today, a suzuki samurai on 36"'s and 20" chrome rims was spotted in tellico the other day...."
LOL, they have those tires for 20" rims, goodness.
That really would look killer though, bet it'd be loud as jell on an Escalae lifted ski hi running 95 on the innerstate!

That was the new thing at SEMA this year. They make up to 40's that hold a 20" wheel.

There are some threads on PBB about the IROK.

Looks pretty cool. Time will tell I guess.
