.....for your viewing pleasures! I'm astonished at how quiet these tires are for such as aggressive tread. Guys at Firestone who did the alignment were drooling over the setup, one had a TB and was trying to lift his. Always good to make contacts, cut me a price a lifetime alignment :thumright:

....off to go trim some fender liner :-)

AWESOME! They look real sick.

I can't believe your firestone does your alignment - mine refuses because its "against factory and unsafe."

How often did you rotate them? Everything I've read and was advised... Rotate every 4-6k miles, but that should go for any M/T tire.

As for the alignment, I called them on the phone first and told them what I had. They said to bring it by to have a look and two techs said no problem, just if they weren't there when I came in to advise the manger I talked to them. The manager knew me from prior rides of mine and no questions asked. I guess it just depends on whose working and how you approach them.

Ill keep an update on how these play in the mud/ snow.

I rotate all my tires at every oil change 3-4k. It really wouldn't matter though as all four tires get torn up when wheeling.

you run Amsoil and still change your oil in your TB every 3-4k?

It's a shame we're not going to get to see it in person this weekend

Looks mighty fine, I dig it.

Hopefully I can make it to one next spring or summer. I'm chasing a few bugs with it that I haven't been able to pin point the cause just yet.

Pretty sure I need new U joints and end links right now. Have a stupid vibration that's rpm related, subtle but noticeable. Especially when the tires are cold and stiff.

I use to go longer, but not so much anymore. Since I am my own dealer it doesn't really cost me much anyhow.
