I am looking for budget tires for $800 or less. Which ones do you suggest. Thanks
Kumhos in general aren't horrible. Compared to like this company called Ling Long or whatever.

Thanks! And I think anything on DG looks good. Shane's are polished but it's a good reference I think. I think his is sick.

They would be super weak lol. Seriously.

I was trying to figure it out, it depends if he is saying the "lips" are the actual outers or if the lip is measured from the face. From what I saw without knowing specs, flipped would be around 2.5" front lip and 4" lip rear which is weaker than Marcus Cookes setup.

You could split the rims possibly and make a doable setup swapping inners and outers, but probably not.

It's either weak or -25 lol
