Been rocking those tires for about 5 years now, yep 5 years, only reason I'm getting new ones is because these are sun-cracked pretty bad now, tires were no good in sand or mud or anything not asphalt, they were also hard and uncomfortable...

Hey, is that a DIY bed liner on your bed? It looks like it's fading.

That bites. How many coats did you put down? Was it prepped well? How long before it started to wear?

Awesome! Make sure you clean the swept area of those rotors REALLY well before installation. They come with a greasey coating, that will prevent your brakes from working good if it isn't removed. Brake Cleaner works just fine for that.

I use my truck more on pavement then off road, HOWEVER, I have been off road with them and they grip pretty dang well. I have mine mounted with the white lettering showing though.
