Those look great. Is that a 4x4 or a 2x4?

looks real good! I looked into those tires and they sure are pricey!

Did you notice any performance loss because of the bigger tires? rear gears 3:55?

Nice setup! Those tires look killer on there. As soon as my MTR's wear out I think I'm gonna get a set of those. How do they ride and hook-up?

Only thing I would have done is install the white letters out (just my personal preference). Looks good though!

Then why did you get a tire that is basically copying the same tread pattern as a BFG all terrain?

When the temperatures get around zero or below, that helps the engine start easier in the morning. Easier on the starter, easier on the battery, easier on the engine. Living in Michigan, you should know that!

I guess its not as cold as living in Minnesota or the Dakotas, but you should still know that...

thanks

It's a 4x4

I haven't noticed any performace loss but i do have 3.92 gearing

I thought about having the white letter out but its a black truck so i decided to put the black letters out.

lol I wish theres a cummins but no its for the block heater because it get really cold up here like -40*C

It rides good i havent notice any tire whine when on on the highway i haven't tested them in the mud yet.
