Default My New Tires!

Ok so today I went to the tire shop to order some procomp xtreme ats in a 35 12.5 but they had a set of Mickey Thompson ATZ that a guy ordered and would not fit on his truck. they are 305/55/20 not as big as i wanted to go but what the hell maybe i'll save a bit on gas and they look great. They do rub at full turn they measure out to be almost 34 inches tall and 13.5 wide, so I ordered a 1/4 in spacer because there isnt a quarter inch between the tire and the suspension. i'll get some good pics up tomorrow. but here is what i got for now.

You are gonna love the ATZ's, I've got a hunting buddy with 40k on his and they still have about 70% tread on them. Handle great on wet pavement and pretty good in mild off-roading too.
Everyone I personally know with Pro Comp AT's have worn them out on pavement in no time. I think the switch will prove to be a great decision...

So far I'm not to sure I like the tires, they are fairly loud and the truck handles totaly different, I'm not sure if its because the guy at the shop filled the tires to the max 65 psi, its the nitrogen, or if its the tires, hammer you got a recomdation on psi?

Damn, 65 lbs! It's no wonder your not all over the road. I run my FCII's that max at 50 psi at 38-40 unless I'm off-road where I'll run between 28-32...
