Those tires have it all; Aggressive, studs, and ample sipling grooves, plus they look nice and narrow. Come-on snow !

Hey Alaskan,
I have been following your adventure thread for a while. I truly like your Ex. My only suggestion, if you are looking for opinions, woulod be add a few more lights along the side of your truck. The singles look weird. To be honest I would go with something not as bright, I am thinking sort of like the big rigs have along the side of thier truck and trailer. Just my opinion, other wise I am jealous of your truck.

I think they are more for function and pictures don't always do justice, they look fine to me. I would like to have those tires though.

i plan on adding amber LEDs on the sides later on. the bright *** driving light is just for use when i'm in a pitch dark area or need a work light/want to see whats around me. not going to be used all that often. but considering how dark it is here in the winter it may get some use.

well i got to play in the snow today..about 6" and its pretty close to home. they are saying possible snow tonight/tomorrow.
