Anyone here run Iroks???

I'm just trying to put togeather what I wanna do with my truck in terms of lift and wheels/tires.

I'm probally gonna use a 2.5 inch Daystar lift, and run a 20 inch wheel with 33's.

The wheel i'm looking at is the HELO BLACK MAAX 6 (20X10)


The tires i'm looking at are:
IROK 33x13.50 R20LT
Nitto Terra Grapplers LT305/55 R20
BFG AT 285/55 R20

Does anyone run these, and what do you think of this setup?
BTW, this is for 100% on road daily driving. Speeds up to 70 mph.

I had 36" IROKS on my last truck (www.seanyarbrough.com it burned)

They looked AWESOME, they gripped really good off-road
and they were noisy as a freight train. They wear pretty good for an agressive tire like that. I bet you can get a whole year or two of use out of them..depending on habits. Oh, when you turn with them they behave wierd because of those big side-lugs. The lugs kinda squish and compress so the truck likes to jiggle and roll around turns...kinda strange..just have to drive it to feel it.

So pros = look good
cons = louder than most any tire out there

seriously - i got a 40 series flowmaster just to cover up the sound of the tires when coming to a rolling stop at a light. And it didn't help that much...hehe

kelmvor that was a sweet looking dodge. What the hell happened to it?

I know the IROKs look sweet, but if they are loud as hell on the road and don't drive good, I'll look into another tire. All of my driving is on road.

They wear pretty good I have no complaints about my IROKs. They are loud but so are any mud tire on the road today. A buffy of mine has the Nitto's on his Chevy and they sound the same as my IROK's.

Your truck looks awsome! I think that the aggressive tread on the IROK is waht gives it that extra look. Those tires just make it look mean.

I'm gonna shop around locally and see what kind of prices I can find on IROKS, Nitto's and BFG's. I think that the IROKS will be much cheaper than the rest.

I think you would be much better off with the Nitto's or BFG's.
