New tires, initial thoughts

I picked up new tires yesterday, Dayton Timberline AT II's. LT 265/75/17 load range C. These had a little mote tread depth than I was looking for for my truck since it is just 2WD but the tread is closer to a highway designand a friend gave me a good deal on them. I went to the shop yesterday morning with about 1/2 - 11 inch of sleet on the ground and when I left the shop it had changed over to snow with about 2" on the ground and I proceeded to go to work, 40 miles one way. I carry abour 400# of concrete in the bed and usualy have to many problems anyway. The roads were completly covered and I have to say I was happy with these tires, the tread cleans out really well. The roads were clear on the way home and I noticed a little more road noise than before but that is expected. They are MUCH better than the Continentals!



Now for some pics.
