What are some good AG tires to fit on a 14 inch tall by 7 inch wide rim?
And what would be the best setup for that? Like stuffing, tubes, etc.

Not all 23x8.50-14s are created equal. It depends on the manufacturer. They are all slightly different heights and widths. On a side note, I'm curious if I just had bad luck this year, or if carlisle skids kind of suck? In 3-4 runs this year I lost 3 of them. One of them had a gaping hole punched in the tread in a 2 minute run, and the other two the sidewalls were cut to hell. They seemed real soft... idk Good point on dimensions. I actually prefer the Carlyle tires. You running flappers ? |

I've actually stitched them with mechanics wire to get another run out of them so I didn't have to do another set lol. Lasted another few runs surprisingly. |

So i've been thinking about something, and was wanting to hear some other opinions. When losing tires while running full bead locks, i noticed the chances of getting around on are about 50/50 depending on track condition..you either dig a hole or limp around. I was wondering if cutting grooves out of the plate(think a rounded cog) would help you get around any better, or if it would just dig a hole since its so thin?  something like this. |

Ever see that episode of mythbusters where they try to build metal wheels for a mine sweeper? They dig holes
