    I've got half a mind to go get three more KM2s sine I've currently got 5. One of which only has 100 or so miles on it

    Sorry for the delay, been out driving the truck in The Maze area in Canyonlands National Park... I'll look to see if I have a front shot of the truck with the Maxxis Bighorns. Also, no wheel spacers on the truck...

    Tires did great in Utah! Never slipped and the sidewalls held up fine- you could see where rocks rubbed, but no cuts or damage. Very happy with the tires and I'll buy them again- this is my second set, 1st in the 255/85r16 size.

    First full tank and had a 4 adult plus gear and canoe 80 mile round trip camping experience and a good bit of idle on the trip and got 20.5 mpg not too bad. I bet i still average over 21 on my regular driving. The tires dont look huge to me anymore, today as i walked by i thought they look very normal and i dont see how i could go back to shorter tires now. I think i may be in love

    I finally got my tires. I haven't gotten to drive anywhere with them yet because I'm stuck at work, but they look sweet.IMAG0634.jpg
