    Well they definitely look nice. You only live once right? I think I'm going to get them.

    Cool.... But....

    This.

    Won't affect it that much. Once you come down here and get tuned and I work on your transmission, you'll actually get better mileage. Even with those tires.

    I wouldn't expect those to be too loud, but I'm sure they'll be louder than OEM tires.

    Ride quality is so different from one tire to the next. My MT's are ~65# apiece and ride like pillows. Noisy pillows, though.

    I've noticed that mileage really comes down to how you drive. You'll feel the extra weight a lot if you do a lot of stop and go, especially if you are a lead foot. But, I've gotten almost 20 on my mud tires by leaving the roof rack off and keeping it around 60.

    Buy them, if you don't like them, I'll take them off your hands for half what you paid, just so you don't feel as much of a sting if you don't like them.

    Absolutely!
    Btw, what's a set of those cost? I'm soon to be in need of a new set of tires and I'm looking for options.

    Well, that's why I pulled the trigger today, I've never seen the X3s priced this low. $869 shipped with tax. Extra good price in today's market. Some generic tires are even encroaching upon the 7 or $800 mark.

    Walmart. It said shipped and sold by them with free returns so if something different shows up or if the manufacture date is real old I can just return them to the store so I figured it was minimal risk. I can send you the link if you want. They won't be going on till spring, whenever that may be.

    I don't.... But I work closely with a guy who does. He's done the tunes on two of my trucks with great results, and he works closely with our 700+ member FB Taco (and others) group
