    Here's mine. I had to do minimal trimming due to the aftermarket wheels backspacing, but it was worth it.

    265/75R16. I have the fox 2.0 installed. It gave me about two inches of lift in the front.

    Can anyone else chime in on this? Particularly for how they perform in snow/ice... Seems there's some disparity.

    Probably not good. Probably more purpose built than most tires, similar to a trepidor but for desert. Which means they probably won't even be a good summer tire for you, unless you have sand and loose rocks, maybe along a lake somewhere. They aren't mud terrains either.

    I plan on getting a lift and these tires sometime between now and november, and will snow wheel them hard (reason I may wait till november)

    My thoughts on them are I know they won't be the best (I've had toyos MT before and they were the best tire I've ever owned) for mud and snow however as long as they perform better than a general AT tire in mud and snow I will consider them a success..

    Yeah i hear great reviews about the toyo in socal. Very strong tire. The grabber tread is very different, and proven in offroad racing. But the street performance isnt a huge consideration in the design.

    I'm happy with mine, but they sure are heavy and don't expect the letters to last too long...

    Truck looks great!

    I'm 2 hours from the socal desert and an hour from Mexico. These tires need to get me home and put up with abuse. Stickers look cool but I'm not gonna worry about em.

    Here is mine with the Grabbers, Mud, sand, dirt, rain no issues so far, but I can tell that this will not be a good heavy mudding tire if that's what you looking for, other than that I love them.

    Hello Red Letter owners. How have the letters held up during offroading/washing/accidental curb check? Did they wear off?

    Is it ok to put tire cleaner on the letters during wash time?

    i had grabbers on my old truck... they were ok i guess, mostly because they're a race tire that general tried to turn into a road tire. off road they're legit but on a daily driver truck i'd look elsewhere. they're heavy as hell, loud, and sometimes track funny. tread life is pretty darn good though. red letters don't hold up well over time... i ended up cutting mine off because they turned pink... maybe things have changed since 3 years ago when i had them and the DOT tires had just come out

    I have them on my truck and the red literally starts rubbing off when I clean them. I go around the letters and wipe them down very carefully. I wouldn't put any cleaner/degreaser on them, just soap and water. It's really kind of a pain... Curb rash is also a constant worry.

    Going on now. This wheel and 285 tire combo does not fit with 2 inches of lift up front. I got spindles and cmc after test fitting. Offset and bs of wheels is causing a lot of bumper rub

    I cant report longevity but offroad they work well even at higher pressures.
