What do you guys think of them? My truck is my DD plus my wheeling rig ( trying to get the most out of the tires ) heard from someone that his only lasted about 30K before he had to replace them due to such soft rubber.

 

Same.

I've been trying to get women on tinder to teach me how to fish but they all seem to be interested in other things

 

Switch to plenty of fish then.

 

Lucky. I wish mine would stick to being interested in other things.

 

Catfish?

 

This guy, but you don't want me as a fishing buddy, fish are scared of me.

 

Plenty of fish is the reason i have a son.

 

I used to do it in lakes but its been some time since I have. Been wanting to get back into it though

 

Dont ignore me @GSPRunner, embrace me

 

Time to change the subject, yet again...


Picked up these FJC steelies from @danneskjold and replaced my Sema Pro wheels. Aside from the weights sticking out like a sore thumb, I like the look.

 

Looks great! I love the look of steelies.

I was just about to text you that I forgot to give you lug nuts but looks like I was too late. If you want them LMK

 

Ah no problem, had some extras at home that worked.

 

Yes they are softer compound. I ran them for approx 8000miles and was left with 14/32 out of the original 19/32. I switched to my all terrains for 12000miles and just put the mtp's back on about 1500miles ago. Mud tires combined with a DD typically don't last long in my experience. I can definitely see 30k being the max life of these tires when properly inflated for longevity along with proper alignment. @Usethe2nd wore his fronts out in about 15k due to shitty alignment. A more frequent rotation helps too.

Otherwise, no complaints. Road noise is as expected from MT's and they perform awesome aired down in the mud/snow/slop.

 

Rattle can the weights black.

Or the whole wheel for that matter and the lug nuts.

 

I ran them as a DD also, but was on logging roads about half the time. They lasted little over a year and got 35,000ish miles out of them before I started getting flats. Still had meet on them for pavement, but not for gravel road's. For the most part I was happy with them and would have got them again if they had them in the size I wanted. They scream like a banshee, but they're a mud tier. They did have a tendency to get a little squirrely in the rain. Not to bad, but a little more than the BFG I'm running now or Toyo's that I've used in the past. Had good traction in the mud and deeper snow.

 

I'm headed up to Glacier tomorrow, anyone have some backwoods driving recommendations? I will either be by myself or with a bone stock 3rd gen.

 

Where can I get some leaf spring center pins locally (Seattle:Renton area)?
Need to add a leaf back to my Dakars and currents pins are cut too short
