Default 265/70/18 Nitto Crosstek Tires

First of all, when I pulled in the driveway, my truck hit 49000. Anyway, holy **** what a difference these tires make. I hated the Goodyear Wrangler SRAs especially in rain. Immediately after installation, I was given a huge downpour on my way home. I can drive almost as aggressively as I do when it's dry. It's tough to get these tires to spin on takeoff. 10000000% better than the Wranglers.

Yes, these are 32.6" tires and I only have a 2.5" front and 1.5" rear lift on her but I won't have to do as much trimming as I thought. It rubs just a tiny tiny bit on the front fender lip and the rest is on the front mudflap. No frame rubbing at all.

Anyway, here's the best pics I could get at the moment. It's still raining cats and dogs...

Done trimming (at least for now). Upon closer inspection, there was no rub on the front fender but I took off a lil bit on the mudflap up front. The tires clear fine on level ground. I'll have to check it out over a curb but I think I'll be fine.
