Those are the tires I'm looking at getting. How do you like them?
Awesome looking truck! How long did you suffer with the Generals?

Just do like everyone else and live with it. Spacers will probably cause vibration issues. Or do like PawPaw suggested and get some 8 inch wide wheels with 5.5 inches of backspacing.

I love this tire....humms on the highway at about 65 +....but you gotta kinda expect that. I don't even have 100 miles on them yet, so its hard to say how well they will do in mud and deep snow. I was in about .5 inches of snow and icy roads last night and they did very well. I was very very easy on the Generals and squeezed 32000 out of them but they had about 25000 of that on highways. All in all, I am glad I got these in stead of the Nitto TG I was looking at, they just look bolder and more aggressive, and its always a huge compliment when you walk out of Walmart and there is a guy bent over looking at your tires and set up......

Overall, I would recommend them to you
