all the stone for the mason showed up at my job today and the little fork lift they brought along to unload the pallets had ground hawgs on the front of it! only when i looked at em up close they where Firestones. same tread pattern though for sure. stupid post, i know, but i thought it was cool /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
 
yeah i see tons of those every day at my job. up to about 48" tall.
 
Yep, that is pretty common. I saw a fork lift the other day with 31" Mickey Thompson Baja Claws. I have seen them with Hawgs, and a few other patterns too.
 
Firestone came out with That pattern for ag use many years ago then some how denman got permission to use that desingn on a light truck tire --- Ground hawgs you can still get dot legal 48" tall "ground hawgs" from firestone But I think the only non tractor rim is the 20" truck rim -------which just happens to be the stock rim on the 2 1/2 ton military trucks so I was thinking get a set of duece axles and stock rims and those 48" firestones and you'd have a" street legal " mudder that would tackle just about any hole you threw at it /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif
 
Yep they sure are I'm 23 so I don't "remember" that but I have backissuse's of forwheeler back to 73' and petersons-4-wheel&offroad since they started (Thanks Dad ) also have hot rod and carcraft since the late 60's (Thanks again Dad) anyways I got my idea from an article about the first bigfoot and went down to the tire store in town and looked through the firestone ag/industrial catalog and there still available /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif But there expensive /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif
