    Stick on hood scoop from Autozone.
    They look great, but DO NOT run them at 50 PSI. They will wear down so fast it won't even be funny.

    The tire said 50 was the minimum he'd run them at...said that all "new style" tires are upping the preasures...

    What would u suggest?

    You should probably run them in the 35 range. 50 is the maximum, which you should never need to do.

    I run my 285/75/16 BFG KM2s at about 35.


    I was running my old 265/75/16 BFG ATs at 50 and they wore out in about 7 months. (I didn't know any better at the time.)


    You should definitely be running them around 35 to ensure maximum life. :thumbsup:

    Mid 30's is what I thought too, but he insisted 50 was the minimum. 80 is the max for these tires (E load).

    Yes 80 is the max, but you still shouldn't be running them at 50. You can if you want, but you shouldn't.
