    Yup, every oil change. I still feel like I've gotten my moneys worth though. No complaints.

    I've only got about 15-20k on these tires. But they've still got a lot of tread on them. They're just getting noisy from the cupping.

    What pressures are you running? According to Lite Brite, the Patagonias are a crowned tire; the shoulder lugs weren't intended to support weight on pavement:

    Try upping the pressure on road to get the shoulder lugs off the contact patch.

    If you run the bumper end caps and make a cut like that you will have a gap looking up from the bottom, something to think about. The previous posted truck is not running end caps. I done a small cut on mine to clear 35's but it is more rounded and mimics the rear flare's shape.

    This is a viper cut on steroids. Can’t say it’s for everyone but for me it’s getting the job done as a TEMP FIX

    It looks pretty bad from the side but I was tired of hitting the bumper and jacking it up or popping it off the truck so this will do for now

    You could tape it off and sray the cutoff area with black plastidip to get an idea of what it would look like. If you don't like it, just peel off the Plastidip. No harm done.
