They are not DOT approved and you are taking a risk by driving them on the road. Chances are no one will ever know or care unless you make someone mad and they rat you out. Most police officers wouldn't notice anyway. Highway patrol probably would. Your biggest risk would be if you were in an accident. An ambulance chaser lawyer would have a huge woody for a case like that.

 

Haha, yep, only 100+ MPH through the harshest conditions a tire could go through!

And quite ironically, the actual tread compound feels quite stiff compared to my Kumhos I have bought.

Like stated just above, I think they just are not DOT aproved, so they print that on there.

 

Yeah, they probably will not be the best on road tire, but for the price I couldn't pass them up. I could sell them a year from now for more than what I got into them ($100). It was either get these, or blow a large wad ($1300+) on a new set... I went this route.

 

OK, tires are under the truck. As anticipated, they are not that great for street tires... nowhere near my half worn MTR's. They are quite inconsistent as far as balancing goes... sometimes they ride very nice, other times they shake like a bogger. It might have something to do with rocks getting stuck between the lugs and throwing it off balance until they let loose, but I'm not sure. Noise wise, them just have a nice quiet hum.

I have not even got them in the dirt yet unfortunately, so I will update when that time comes. I suspect they will do superb in just about all conditions. My hopes are they are excellent in snow, my favorite wheeling, which I'm sure they will be.

The major sucky part is they measure 34.5" mounted, and that really blows with 3.92 gears. I was hoping for 33" mounted, but that was a no go.


Anyway, heres some pics...

Just like everyone else with 12.5" wide tires on stock wheels, they rub the control arms at full lock. I also am not too sure about the black sidewall... I am a white letter kinda guy. I might paint them white, not sure yet.


Hopefully I will post up some wheeling pics and performance updates soon fellas!

 

Looks good!
I agree fully! White letter tires look great on lifted Rams!

 

Keep it clean and let them ride!

 

I too love a white walled tire, but once you rub them on something, it's a pain.

 

they look great oleyelr one question tho you said they ride weird some times.

Are they byias ply nylon belted or radial steel belted?

i remember when my dad had his old k5 blazer and had bias ply nylon belts they road weird untill they got hot.
the reason was they would flat spot while sitting over night while cooling off

 

I love the way they tuck in nicely and they look damn good.
btw heres a link to this website that makes these paint markers so you can paint your tires lettering if you want:

I dont know how they would rub off. I noticed this weekend while cleaning the tires with a brush and Simple Green that the raised part was starting to peel away. Even more reason to get rid of these tires!
