Arrow Daystar and new tires Installed!

Extremly happy with the 2.5" Daystar, I got a full 2.5. I love the tires too, just feeling the loss of gas mileage, but its worth it!

I just did a similar treatment to mine a couple weeks ago. Are those 285 BFG AT's?

did you notice any drop in performance?

Looks great. Whats your opinion of them on the stock rims? Long debate over safety and all that. I dont think anyone has ever had a problem though, unless aired down and blowing a bead.

They are fine, it actaully rides a lot better, & it fixed the vibration also. I have had 33" tires on a 15x7 rim before and that was fine too. On paper the #s might seem dangerous, but the shop warranted everything.....

it doesn't rub any more, it did without the lift on on big bumps. It is hard to keep those tires looking shiny, I always spray them, but I hate when the spray flys all over the body....

I love that look. Hey to bring your mileage back up, get the KN intake system and the catback exhaust and that sould put you right back up there.

Also, we need some more pictures.
