First 30" Wheels go into production

INDUSTRY FIRST: 30-INCH WHEEL GOES INTO FULL PRODUCTION

Pirelli Tire North America and Twenty Inches Strong Wheels have introduced the world’s first 30-inch wheel and tire combo geared for the light-truck and SUV market. With the 315/30R30 Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico, Pirelli is the first tire maker to supply this tire size in full production.

Twenty Inches Strong Wheels’ new eight-spoke, three-piece wheel becomes the first in the company’s new Thirty Inches Strong Line.

The first set of this wheel and tire combo was sold to MTV’s Bam Margera from “Viva La Bam” valued at just under $150,000.

It would make your vehicle look like an Amish buggy.

a 315/30/30 tire is a 37" tall tire and 12.5" wide. That's huge! So what are these fitting? Trimmed to hell escalades and hummers

'97 V8 · 04-22-2006, 11:16 PM

wow. penile compensation comes in many forms i guess

96limitedX · 04-22-2006, 11:48 PM

omg...how stupid

idk but personly anything over 24(on a fullsize) is just stupid.

justin146 · 04-23-2006, 11:53 AM

Bam has a H2 (I saw it on his show- they made it a SUT with a sawzall), and they can fit 37s with a TT. I dont know what else semi-stock they would go on... maybe a 05+ 4wd Superduty with a 2-3" leveling kit. You'll need the CST 8" kit to fit those on a Titan, and at lease that much to fit on any other full size vehicles...or glass fenders

*Doubt Incarnate* · 04-23-2006, 12:01 PM

wish i money to cut up a new h2, and fit thousands of dollars worth of new shoes on it.

do these comes with retro rockets for braking purposes? for what they cost they should come with the respective brake upgrade in my opinion.

'97 V8 · 04-23-2006, 12:04 PM

bam dont care, he drove that h2 off a cliff and made a moonroof at of a lamborghini...tore off the bed of a superduty.

That was awesome when they tore up that Superduty.... and they put an axe through his H2's fender.
