DIY truggy tires

I've heard rumblings about people making truggy tires by cutting up stadium truck tires but can't find any info on it. Anybody have pics or a write up?

A local makes electrons for his sons Truggy. It takes 3 st tires per and 10+ man hours total. It's super difficult, I recomend you leave it to the experts.

cut and glue, back in the early truggy days we used to cut a half inch of tread out of the center of the tire and glue the two halves together for a super skinny tire.
