That's awesome, I've read nothing but rave reviews online so I'm pretty excited. Only downfall is that they are supposedly terrible in snow\slick surfaces but I only drive in town to commute so I should be alright.

Paid $155 shipped per tire which was by far the cheapest I could find on name brand 33x12.5R15 tires anywhere.

Discount Tire Direct through their Ebay listing. They're currently running a deal that if you buy $400 worth of tires then you get $100 off. Bought 2 listings of 2 General tires at just a hair over $400 each so I got a total of $200 off. Even had a General Tire mail in rebate for $70 off a purchase of 4, so $270 off the already low price.

Justin, I was running 31's so the 32's are a little bigger. I probably could have gone to 33's without much change, but these were cheap and you guys know me and cheap.

Actually got to drive it yesterday, runs and drives good, but those 3.89 gears have to GO! I need to find someone that would swap 9" center sections with Me. I am thinking about putting either Sanford and Son, or Busted Knuckle Garage on the doors
