Everybody’s Scalin’ – 1.9″ Tire Size Reference

I think most would agree that owning a 1.9 rig is what gives you the true scaling experience. The “training wheel” guys may disagree (aka 2.2), but 1.9’s are definitely the most popular, if nothing else.

Given that most of us don’t have access to truly mountainous and/or wild environments to play in right around our houses, it’s usually the best combination for fun (1.5 and smaller trucks seem pretty limited by what they can run in) and challenge (the aforementioned 2.2 trucks, due to their size, can require some really gnarly terrain to break a sweat).

That said, there are an insane amount of 1.9 tires on the market. As a capper, their actual height can vary wildly. A 1.9 truck with 3.8″ tall tires is going to look and handle a lot different than one with over 4.7″ of rubber. Bigger tires can also mean rubbing depending on what chassis and body you have.

While I can’t help you decide which is right for your truck, here is a big list that I put together featuring many of the most popular aftermarket tires, ordered by manufacturer and size. Again, these are all for a 1.9 wheel.

The choice for finding the right rubber for your scaler can be very tough, but hopefully this list helps at least a little bit by sorting what’s what in regards to height. Good luck!
