I know there are plenty of tire size and makes discussed but here are a few popular options from the crowd.
14s and 15s

Good time at KTE 2025. Here are a couple of pictures from Friday night's cruise that included a stop on the bridge at the end of Sanford stadium; home of the Georgia Bulldawgs and the famous hedges.

Hobug - thank for organizing a great event!! This was my first Kubel Treffen and hopefully many more to come! And luckily the rain didn't slow us down much.
I enjoyed all the Things - each one was unique as were the owners! It was great to make some new friends and the dinners and evenings in the pavilion were a great chance to share some good stories and tips.
I can't wait until next year!
Thanks again, Hobug!

It was good to meet you Doug as well as others that I had seen at previous Kubel Treffens, but had not gotten to know them.
Your 73 was certainly worthy of the award Best 73!
See you next year.

Thanks for posting all these pics!
I wasn't there so I enjoy seeing what other Thing owners have done to their rides. I see one of them with the bikini top... I really gotta get me one of those.
Hopefully in the future I can attend.
Cheers!
Mark

We ran out of shirts at the show. I didn't even end up with one. 
We are able to do a second printing for anyone wanting a shirt. They will be $24.00 each and that includes shipping.
Please send payment with PayPal if possible: [email protected]
Be sure to include your size, number of shirts, and address to ship them to.
We will be placing the order August 11th.
( I did check with Everett before posting this here )
