Hmm, you've got a 3" lift in your sig...tire size would be nice

You're probably not gonna find much in a name brand tire for $500, fyi. Closer to $600

I agree. Especially not if you're planning on making use of that 3" of lift.

Bigger tires = more money [&:]

Ok well i lied i guess, i didnt get the General Grabber's, instead i bought Bridgestone Dueler APT III. Got them in 285/75R16.i Love them so far. ride so smooth and quiet. I tested them by drivin thru my friends pond,lol, i sunk like a rock in that mud but i made it. So far so good.the proce was good,got all the extras and the tires for 700.Supposed to get more rain soon so im gonna test some more.I will post some new pics.
