Price:  $598 incl. taxes and installation.

These are 1.2" taller and 3/4" wider and much more aggressive than the stock tires.  Very happy with them so far.  Drove back from Washington with them on Saturday and didn't notice any difference in road noise and they actually handle better than the stock "road" tires that came on it.  We took it out off roading yesterday and I'm very impressed by the way these tires just dig in and go.  Very very nice tire.

I used to sell a lot of those when I worked in tires.   Similar looks and performance to the BFG A/T, but much less expensive...

The make the concrete look badass!   :praise:






On the other hand they look a slight bit over-inflated.

Thanks man.  The old tires were "road" tires and were noticeably smaller.  These fill in the wheel wells better and just look great.

Just checked and the PSI is fine.  Thanks though, cause I would hate to have uneven wear.

I'm hoping to go do some here in the next few weeks before the snow starts flying at the higher elevations.
