Got my 33's and need your opinions!
 
Just got my tires in the mail. I am trying the Fuzion XTI's which are made by Bridgestone. They are getting some pretty good reviews, so I figured I would try them out. They are 275/60/20's. So 33" tall by about 10.83" wide.

Now, I need everyones opinions on the following. When ordering the tires, the website said that they came in 2 sidewall patterns: flame or tribal. After I checked out, I realized that I wasn't given the option to select one or the other. When I received them, I noticed that the tribal was on one side and flame on the other, so I get to choose! Sorry for the crappy pictures, but what does everyone think I should mount on the outside of the wheel, flame or tribal?

1) Flame:

2) Tribal:

Thanks in advance for your opinions! I will post pics when they are mounted, but the wheels are on backorder for 4 weeks :(

I was leaning toward the flames too. That would be an added bonus if it helped melt the snow! :lol:

What I coincidence! I actually live in Kirtland, which is the town right next to Mentor. What company if you dont mind me asking?

The company is Engineered Endeavor's and they are on Jenther Dr., I'm at work shipping out some cell tower's for them now. Had one going to Columbus and waiting for a friend of mine bringing in a load from Mentor and I'm going to re-load him and send him up to Smith Township, Ohio. Any large cell tower's up there I probably shipped them in the last 20 year's I've been doing this! Got to get back to work.:beers:

I just got a set of those, and so far so good. Excellent wet traction. I went with tribal out, but imo both are stupid...:) I just liked the price and reviews I read about them.

Moto Metal 951 black. 20x9, +18 offset.

I know, everyone has them, but I really like the way they look and havent seen anyone around my area with them on their truck.

I agree about the design...both are pretty stupid. I bought the tires for the same reason as you.



Thanks again for everyones input. Anyone else?

:beers:
