Coupel shots of new tires on FX4

Ive had these tires sitting in my garage and finally got around to getting them installed. They are 295/65/18 Goodyear Duratracs (33 inch tire). The tires ride great, you can barely hear them. Im not sure about MPG loss but im sure its an easy 2 mpg loss. Im hoping we get some snow this year so I can try them out but im not holding my breath. The truck is a 10 FX4 with a 2 inch leveling kit up front and 2 inch rear blocks in the back. I couldnt be happier with the look my truck finally looks like a truck, lol. Here are the shots:

Looks great.
I have Duratracs on my (daily driver) Bronco and I love them. I go snow wheeling on my friend's property all the time and they are great in the snow.

The pics make the truck look like the back is way higher than it actually is. On level ground the rear is about 3/4 inch taller. I did this so when im towing, the truck actually sits level rather than having the nose high.

There is a 2" HBS leveling kit spacer in the front and theres 2" inch rear blocks in the back. I believe the factory blocks are 1.25 inches, so over factory the front is 2 inches higher and the rear is 3/4" higher.

Thanks for the feedback everyone I wanted to get some pics up in case someone was considering these tires. They look super aggressive but have minimal noise and ride rather smooth.

Looks good....I am considering the Duratracs too as an option since I want to go with a narrower tire than my current fat and heavy Nittos.

Looks awsome man, those Duratracs look just like a mud tire.
