Finally got new tires

I'm almost glad I couldn't afford anything bigger because I like how these look. They also get amazing traction and really quiet compared to stock. Just the amount of change suprised me. I knew that all terrain tires got better traction than highway tires but being able to creep up a gravel slope that before I had to get a running start and spin the tires all the way to the top practically blew my mind. I can't wait to REALLY test them out because I was able to go places with just the older street tires. Then I got on the highway and realized how quiet they were. Another thing I didn't expect. I bet they will also last longer too. If they need to be replaced at 18K like the old ones I'll be fuming.
