I've had the tires sitting here for 2 weeks and finally got time to drop the truck off Tuesday morning (I dropped the tires off Monday afternoon).


Took a bunch of pics of the tires....

You can see they are slightly shorter, and wider than the 40/15.50R20 Toyos


You can see the ridges on the tread blocks. This is a technology used in skid steer and tractor tires as well. Helps to prevent the tread from getting packed with mud and helps the tires self clean better.




Of course, the "DC" over the shoulder lug was a big plus for my truck






As you can see....I'm back to having a little better tire clearance:

 

I think that they give the truck a more aggressive look:





And probably one of the only times I'll ever have both trucks at the shop at the same time:






So far I am very pleased and very impressed with them. They balanced out quite well....2.75-6.0 oz per tire. They are probably the best riding tire that I've ran so far. They ride very nice and smooth. They are also fairly quiet for a Mud Tire, can barely hear them with the windows down once I get past 50mph. So far I'm loving the tires.


Of course, it started to rain once I left the tire place....so I'll get some better pics once I get a chance to clean the truck up.




And here’s a photoshop that Bear Hunter did for me:





I’ve put a couple hundred miles on them over the week. Definitely, the best riding large mud tire that I have ran to date (I’ve ran 38” PJs, 38” Toyos, and 40” Toyos).
The tire place had them all at 50 psi and it rode great and actually had even tread contact. This morning I aired the fronts down to 45 psi and the rears down to 40 psi…..now the ride is amazing.
Not the quietest mud tire due to their aggressive tread design, but the quietest and smoothest riding that I’ve ran or ridden in so far.


Special Thanks to Dave at DiablOffroad and ***** at Dick Cepek/Mickey Thompson Tires.

 

Look good man, we need a side profile.

 

I really like the lights hidden behind the grill. Did you have to move the grill out any to fit the lights?

 

That looks awsome!! Where did you get that Superman emblem? Look 400 posts

 

Haha, that's awesome, Bear Hunter!

Oh yeah, nice truck, DC.

 

Cool tires man, I am still debating what 40's to get for my 10.5".

 

man those are nice !!! .. love what Bear Hunter did !!

40's - wow, makes my 35's seem puny now

 

Thanks for the compliments.


I'll try and get a good side shot within the next week.


To fit the lights behind the grille, you just need a billet grille and to make some brackets out of steel or aluminum plate.


I got the Superman Oval, Door Badges and Fender Badges from Steve at BilletBadges.com

 

Did you get new wheels too or just tires?

 

those tires look badass

 

Thanks for the compliments.



Ryan,
Same wheels I had before....20x10 Weld Velocity 8 XT, blacked out.

 

Where did you get the front bumper?

I don't recognize the driving lights.....

 

I built the front bumpers on my 01 and 07.....along with a handfull of others out there. Both my trucks also have custom rear bumpers.

Lights in the front are PIAA 520s
Lights in the rear are PIAA 1500 BACK UP

 

Those are two very nice looking trucks.
