New shoes

Got the goodyear duratracs . Went from stock 275/65/18 bfg rugged trails which are junk. To bfg ko all terrains 275/70/18 got 55k miles out of them and loved them. Went with duratracs 295/65/18 on my stock rims, no rubbing issues what so ever, at full lock turning , backing up or anything. I do have a AS 2 in level space on front. Got them on tuesday of last week, and really like the looks they look very agressive and ride really nice, have a light hum to them but cant really notice till about 70mph and its very very soft for how agressive they are. Was very surprised even with radio off i could talk normally. I do see what a few have said about the floating feel , they are e rated but not as stiff as the bfg ko where. I was running the bfg at 45-50 psi per bfg tech support. I left the air pressure at stock what goodyear put in to see how they road. Took trip to maryland 500mile round trip and really like them. Here are a few pics.

Looks very good! I just got duratracs about a month or so ago and I really like them so far. I was told the floating feeling has something to do with the coating on them from the factory and that it would wear off after a few days of driving. I don't feel the float anymore so either it wore off or I just got used to it but I am pretty sure it is gone..

They look great on your truck. I wish I could get them, but they are not available in LT275/55R20.
