The 48” tire represented the largest tire added to a pick-up truck during the late 1970’s and spawned an entire monster truck craze. The “48’s” as a lot of enthusiasts called them, were special and featured a Zig \/ Zag tread pattern, deep cleats, and the large overall diameter.

JConcepts had multiple goals in mind while designing the new Rangers tire from the ground up. First, in RC, the 2.2” wheel is perhaps the most popular wheel in the industry and using that as a base point, the Rangers tire started to take shape. The popular wheel size also fits around the suspension geometry on a vast assortment of trucks, making it very versatile.  Second, there is already a 2.2” class in RC Monster Truck racing so the Rangers drop perfectly into that segment with no need for adjustments or changes to the rules.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGetting the look right was important and JConcepts incorporated a lot of detail into these beauties making them striking for any project or shelf queen. To build a great looking retro, the Rangers needed to look the part and thanks to the Zig \/ Zag tread, scale depth and side-wall lettering, the tire has an unmistakable look.

The tire carcass profile holds the weight extremely low while the design of the tire beads allow just the right amount of contact patch for gluing and application. The Rangers measure in at 5.57 x 2.95 x 2.2” and are available in two different compounds.
