I almost bought a set of RVT's. Couldn't decide between them and the TXR's. Split the difference and put a set of Dunlop's on. Big mistake on my part, they're getting close to being done with barely over 15,000 miles on them.

My cousin has a set of RVT's on his 99 F150 and they're barely showing any wear with over 25K on them. I hope they last as well with the PSD putting the squash on 'em.

What size are those? They look great.

My Rims are 7" too, but the offset might be different. Do your tires extend out of the fenders?....mine stick out maybe 1 to 1.5" past the fender....give or take 2 inches hahahaha.....Maybe that's why......
