Gotta keep the LTZs up top for those newbies looking for a descent tire.

I can definitely tell a difference in traction. My old tires would chirp like none other around a corner. I ordered the tires a while ago, and just got them on. When I pulled up and saw the truck on the lift, it was amazing how much different that made the truck look to me. It looks so sick from the side and from anywhere basically.
I can also notice road noise with them worse than the old tires, but between my radio and exhaust, I won't notice it.

I put them on my truck. They are sick in mud. I have a job I've been going to for a few months that stays muddy. Not just wet but like 2 or 3 inches of thick mud. With my wrangler hp's I had to put it in 4x4 to make it to the house. With the coopers 2x4 all the way. They do clean out hard though, but fast. The treadwear on them is 520 so they should last for a good while. As long as we don't do a bunch of "SMOKE ROARING, TIRE SQUALING, OLD MAN PISSING OFF" burn outs. How much did you pay for yours. I got mine off of ebay for 642 shipped then paid tire kingdom 40 to install so they cost me 682 i guess. Then I leveled it and put an add a spring in the rear so I had to get is re-aligned.

Between getting rid of old tires, install and all, it was a little over $940.

I got a feeling when I get my truck, I'm gonna need to get tires before I leave the dealership or well the state, I'll be driving her at least 600 miles right after I get her to take her to her sitting place til I move, looks like she may be the car I got that will go ahead of me and wait.. and I plan on burning mine off before I do that... I'll be sure to get Vid too hehe

No, if I recall correctly, you referred to the area between the blocks as siping. I corrected you by posting a definition that siping was the slits cut within each individual block.

I may be getting old, but my mind ain't gone feeble.......... yet!!!
