Thanks man. Last question....have you had any paint issues running a tire like that? No damage to the bottom panels from spray and debris?

On my old truck with Nitto all terrains i would occasionally pick up a rock. it would get stuck in the tread and later slung off. I would hear it ping off my step bars, and i would cringe each time. but i never noticed a scratch on the truck because of it...

I havent noticed these tires on my new vehicle picking up any rocks, might be because the tread is a lot bigger and rocks are too smal for it? But either way ive only got like 500 miles on it and havent been off road or on gravel yet. That been said those aggressive tires do cut into the grass real good and with the ammount of rain we have had digs is up a little and gets mud on my tires....and in turn it splashes a little bit of muddy watter behind the tires.

Maybe those fender flares help. I might add something like that for extra caution. Good info man, thanks.

btw, where in Tidewater are you located? I'm in Newport News.

yea, those fender flares gave me another 1 1/2 to 2 inches of coverage, those tires seemed to stick out a little farther then on my new truck...must be the backspacing, cuz they are the same width.

And im in hampton

wouldn't mind checking your truck out sometime since I'm looking at adding a lot of similar mods after the new year. might hit you up down the road if you don't mind showing your truck off.

Dude.....I went to my parents this weekend. They live in Staunton, VA. My Dad got close to 3 feet of snow in some spots. Got my truck bogged in it just trying to get out to the main road. It was all kinds of fun.

Yes sir! I have to deliver 3 sets of rims, 1 set of tires, 1 set of traction bars, shocks, gears/locker, and a couple of ag. tires. She is the new freight truck.

I have to do it all with no alternator though Stocked up with 6 batteries, and hoping for only daytime driving. Oh, and no electronics work...including both windows stuck down.


If my count is correct on promises I have stocked up, I owe you about 3 beers....and one swift kick to the nuts.

Well, lets start with the beer and forget about the kick in the nuts. Can I transfer that to Screwy?
