Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

You're gonna like them tires kid, but there is a trick to them (as with most AT/MT hybrids).

The center tread is an A/T tread and the outer/inner treads (and side biters) are a M/T tread. When using mainly on the road, air 'em fairly high - like at least 80% of max PSI, this keeps the center patch making contact first and not those big M/T blocks. When going off road, air 'em down a little (or a lot if doing serious mudding) so that those big blocs make full contact into the mud.

They will last longer if you keep them blocks from making contact first with asphalt plus they'll run a little quieter (but they are still as loud as most M/Ts IMO)...

Yea I'm not sure what psi they're at right now... I'll get around to checking. Another cool fact is that this was my first tire/wheel purchase ever! Haha

I really like the DC 2, though they are not for me, personally. However, if I ever changed from the Classic II look, I can see the DC 2 as a possible option. I'd definitely go with 17" wheels, though.
