I'm convinced! 4 285/75/16 Wardens shipped to my door for $492! These are my next tires!

Not bad at all. Had them dynamic (spin) balanced and the tech said they were no different than any other large off-road tires.

Like I said, those new rims are sexy. That one would make a great sig pic also.

Yeah, what kind of crap is that? I bought mine a couple months ago.

I knew it! My old 285 70 17 tires didn't rub at all and these scrubbed the back of the fenders in full lock, bumpy turns.

Man your making me want to put mine on now. Trying to hold out until around April. But I went up a tire size and they are a different tread pattern from my old Treadwright tires as they no longer make the ones I had. So I'm kinda itching to see how my truck is going to look. Yours looks great. Good to hear that they balanced well. I have yet to have a set spin balanced. I mount my own tires and use a bubble balancer which some say isn't as good. But I have never had a balance issue.
