Dream on, how do you think they transport the machines they are used on
Over here, they truck them in with the tub and wheels removed and bolt them back together onsite.

18 wheeler?
That's cute...
These puppies are so large, they need a booster engine half way back. They are used in the Aussie Iron Ore mines in Western Aust where they truck the ore hundreds of Km to the ports.

Hey @clcustom1911 is this stabby enough for you?

I mean, since no stabbing was involved, technically no it's not stabby enough. It just seems to be a very methy situation.

Speaking of superior Slavic super stabbies... mine got a new cat after the other one vanished... it's big enough to cause chaos now.

AI fake, too many tires.

Those container pics...I am fairly certain not real. A 53 footer has more volume.
But, mostly the reason I figure fake...why would you ship tires like that? an open top container? Just strap the fuckers to a flatbed.
Oversize wide is mobetta than oversize tall.
😆😂😅🤣 well, bless your little hearts!

Those are pictures my wife took from the truck on a trip from SC to FL last week. That was on I95 southbound. Not fake, not AI, no kidding, no shenanigans. Maybe put it on your big screen, zoom in and call the company listed on the truck and ask your questions.

It was doing about 65mph when I passed, so if it was fake, it’s the best damn real sounding holographic projection I’ll ever see.

They are 100% real.
I see at least one load nearly every day pass by the shop southbound on U.S. Route 78 heading to I'm guessing the port in Charleston S.C.
Michelin manufactures these large mining tires at its US10 plant in Starr S.C..
A 53 footer may indeed have more volume but the three tires are most likely all they can haul at a time without being overweight.
These tires probably weigh somewhere around 12-15000 lbs each.
If you take into account the permits, escorts and other hoops you gotta jump through to haul wider than normal loads then hauling them upright makes more sense.

They were indeed Michelins. I read it on the tires as I passed by.

They are real. Made about 6 miles up the road from me. They are stable in the trucks on a straight line. But if you are in a car beside them turning left out of Masters blvd onto Hwy 81 and you see how top heavy they are you get real nervous. I back off and watch. I have no idea how they can turn at any speed ant not tip over.
