Smile Check out my new tires and wheels!!!

i came across a very good deal on these , the tires are nitto mud grappler extreme terrain (33x12.50x20), the wheels are liquid metal rhino's-20"........here are some pictures of them, before with stock setup and after............the only drawback to these so far is the extremely loud noise these make on the highway, it sounds like a old world war 2 plane is on the roof of the truck, i was not expecting these to be that loud, my kids now call this truck "rolling thunder"..............what do yall think about the new treads?

Did you mount them the same he had them mounted? Had he ever had them rotated? Could be starting to cup which happens quick on tires like that, resulting in more noise from the un even tread.

i did not mount them the same, i moved them around, and he had them rotated when they were on his truck, they had 10,000 miles on them when i got them 4 days ago, they all look to be wearing down evenly to me, i know the pavement wears these out fast because the rubber on these is soft.............

i do not have a leveling kit or anything, it is stock, i thought they would rub a little when i turn sharp , but they clear so far.............now if i get on unlevel ground and try to turn sharp, i figure they will rub......................but the offroad performance and the looks of them out weigh the noise they make .............
