if your on the pavement almost all the time M/T's might not be the way to go. also, maybe those pro comps where so loud cause the tires where aired up ALL the way?

The reason those tires are so loud on pavement is because they are Rock Crawling tires

ProComp Xtreme All Terrains, Nitto/Toyo MT or AT's are all pretty aggressive looking and aren't nearly as loud as the tires you have now.

Once i sell my stock rims and Zeons im gonna either order these tires again or the nitto mug grapplers. depends on $$ and if 4wheelparts does the buy 3 get 1 free of pro-comp. next after the lift are new shocks.. prob rancho's. I just cant wait for the lift to be in!!! its gonna look sick!!





your truck is probably my favorite color that I've seen on the 3rd gen rams

Grey is the best color. It also gets the best gas mileage. Get that damn lift on there already!

vscapes: yeah theyre at 45psi.. max is 50.

greendragon: thank you.

and dodge it: grey might get better gas mileage, but this color blue gives me 15 more horsepower!! haha.... and yeah the lift goes in on saturday. hey quick question, are you runnin 37's on just a body lift? any rubbin or issues? i was thinkin about it yesterday that if i can run 35's with just a torsion level i should def be able to run 37's with the body lift also.

man looks badA and have you taken it anywere to see if it rubs because i am divided between 33's and 35's because i dont want rubbing but if i can clear the 35's with just a torsion crank and decent flex then i will get them and you should def think about the toya MT they are great tires and quiet with a good tread

they only rubbed once, but i was backing out of a steep driveway with the wheel cranked all the way to the right and the tires just caught the plastic valance under the passenger side bumper.. but besides that nothing. and the toyos are nice. i found the toyos for about 325 each shipped, the nittos for about 300 each shipped, the cooper stt about 260 each shipped, and the pro comps mud for between 280-300 each shipped... so im lookin around 1200 max. so i dunno. i think i like the nittos the most.. they just look sick on every wheel or truck or both.. i just hope they are much quieter than what i have now!
