That is called John Deere Yellow, the same color as the rims on my trailer.:icon_thumby:

Of course my trailer is John Deere Green.:icon_rofl:

But to me they look good, keep up the good work, also I too think that sand is for balancing the tires, they use that in 18 Wheelers when I use to drive long haul trucks.

Can you balance a non radial tire? Or do you have radial TSLs?

They are bias, my spares are radials.

Bias can be balanced, my tubed Bronco tires were balanced.

I've ran that compound inside the tires before. It works great. Get those tires ready and you can come try them out later this summer. You just have to get Brad moving on his project so he can come maybe next year. Bring him as a co-pilot this summer.

I've seen a few on our trails. If you care about the paint I wouldn't bring it. Our trails are tight and have lots of brush and stuff hanging that likes to mark up nice paint. You would also be limited to where you could go without knowing the trails you could wind up in the wrong spot very easy.
