their called treadwrights, their re-treads, but pretty much the best ive ever seen, they have BFG sidewalls and they all match 285/70/17's for like $117 i think. ended up being like $570 shipped to mah door, they have all kinds of sizes and tread designs..i just like this tread cuz it looks like the goodyear MTR also 285 is the biggest they go

Are you freaking kidding me. They are definately way better price than the BFG's I am running. I will look into these when I get ready to replace my shoes in my truck.

Tires look good, how much weight was needed to balance?

Hey those tires look nice. I have a question.

I have a 2006 Megacab. Wondering if anyone had any ideas on the biggest size I could go without doing a lift.

I am thinking about going with the MT/R with Kevlar but not sure about the size.

biggest you can go is 35" they will rub at full lock unless you have diff rims or you get 1.5" spacers for the front, not really sure how much weight they used.. ill take a pic....and the tread depth is 19/32
