Mack superliner with Dunlop sp r3?

[hotrod59f100]

I had bought a mack super liner made by imia . It was a Japanese sapporo beer truck. The kit was a battery operated kit and the trailer was kind of a flat Ben with a beer can on the back. In the kit it included the Dunlop sp r3 tires . To me the look mor like off road tires then truck tires . Are thy common with big trucks ???. The have to be on of the best tires in general I've ever seen in a kit. Are these common in kits as well .please excuse the fuzzy pics.

Those do look like off-road, 4x4 pick-up tires.

A freightliner superliner? Thats interesting. Is it a freightliner with a mack superliner hood and grill?

I'm sorry when I was writing it I rembered the super liner part so I thought that's what it is . Your right it's a Mack ill change that.

I'm sure you know this already, but there are generally two types of rear tires (drives) for tractors. Highway tires with a smaller and quieter tread pattern and a more aggressive tread pattern for off-road work sites where there is a dirt or gravel access road. The tires in your picture are a little too aggressive for a drive tire. They look cool, but IMHO, they're a bit too much. Most kit tires are highway tires that I've seen. This is from kits I have and experience working/driving tractor/trailers at a former job for over ten years.
