dd908 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 lol yea the bkts are expensive. what r they now $3000 a pop? $2650 per tire plus whatever it'll cost teams for shipping, depending on if they get them straight from India where BKT is based out of or from a distributor here in the States if they do pop up.

bkelly Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Well, if he decides to only run 4 events or less with Monster Jam, he can keep his China tires. I just do not see the point of making indies run BKTs. I mean, I understand why MJ would have all of the FELD trucks run them (look at AAP and Ford). But making indies run them is just pointless. If they are trying to get rid of some of the indies, they can go ahead and do that, the only thing is Saigon Shaker, Bounty Hunter, Overkill Evo, Titan, and Avenger all have big fanbases that wouldn't be happy if MJ cut them out or if they backed out.

And it really starts to get expensive when you're running 2 trucks(because im pretty sure you have buy 10 tires then) and then outrageous when you're running 4 trucks like Creten or Vaters..

AaronLurie Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I don't think that will be an issue seeing as that is Cory Rummell's Avenger. Jim's looks to be good to go for tonight in Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how many trucks you own, Feld wants 5 tires per truck (4 plus 1 spare mounted and ready to run). Plus that would also mean that some guys would have to build new rims as well, adding onto the cost more. Koehler done goofed. That's Cory. Jimmy's in Charlotte.

dd908 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Welp. (allmonsterpostedthisgottagivethatcredit) And to make it even better, he saved it but wound up crossing the center line and disqualified himself, so Runte took the win by default. Not sure on who crossed the finish line first, though. And it's Runte against Hartsock in the final round. Apparently Anson and Sims Sr. both had truck issues and couldn't make the casting call for the semis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
