Finally some good news and new wheels/tires

So for those that don't know my truck was involved in an accident 2.5 months ago and then a month after I dropped off my truck the wheels and tires were stolen while it sat in the repair shops lot. I finally got the call on Wed that they had picked up the new wheels and tires I had picked out and they were on the truck. I hadn't seen my truck with wheels and tires in over 1.5 months so took a drive down to the shop to check her out. Here's a couple shots using my cell phone of the results. Tires are 35x12.50 Pro Comp MT's wrapped around a set of KMC Monsters.





Pictures don't really do her justice as these things look absolutely awesome in person. Should be getting the truck back next Thurs so I plan on a full body detail next weekend and some updated shots.

I like them better than the Helo's and as a matter of fact they are the same wheels I will be putting on my pickup.

maybe im losing my mind but those tires dont look like either the pro comp mud terrain or the pro comp xtreme mud terrain.... did i miss something? has there been some major revision i didnt know about? that is a very aggresive sidewall and I know the MT didnt have that before...and the tread pattern, from what I can see, looks almost like a mickey baja claw from this point of view..someone please helpe explain bc im feeling like im an idiot right now

It definitely looks nothing like my old Pro Comp Xtreme AT's. Here's a pic of the old tires.


And here's a pic of the new tires.


The biggest difference I notice is how much more rounded the MT's look over the AT's. That and the MT's look alot more aggressive. I had thought about going with Mud Grapplers, but thought the noise would be too much so MT's were a compromise for me.

im sorry to hear about what happened.and to pour salt into the wound your wheels got jacked!what the hell is the world coming too.at least you got to upgrade for free(in a way)those look great.i cant wait to see pics of the whole truck with the wheels.i wanted to say you are probably better off with the tires you got.i have mud grapplers.i like them and the noise doesnt bother me but its an aquired taste and not for everyone.i bought my mud grapplers expecting them to be noisey and werent as bad as i though.since you had and accident did you get any other upgrades?like a different hood or anything like that?
