Home made crawler tires: CANYON A-T 40 SERIES BOLTZ

[noir 522]

I enjoy the convience of running 23mm wheels. But the best crawler tire (Canyon AT) dont come in 23mm. So I took an old set of stock canyons, added a bit of creativity and came up with

CANYON A-T 40 SERIES BOLTZ

I started by cutting the foam to get more flexibility into the tire.

Then I trimmed about 2mm off of the edge to be able to set the tires into a set of 40 series (23mm) proline Cammando beadlock rims

I then used some strong duct tape and taped the inside of the tires.
Punched some holes throughout the walls and added these

These are definately NOT high speed tires. But they flex excellently and should be able to grab onto slippery rocks, cement stairs and wet tree trunks very well.

Just things you do in between semesters
