    They are A/Ts. I love them, they are light, quiet, aggressive enough and grip very well.

    Loving this thread.

    Can we talk about tires brands that flex/conform when aired down?

    I’ve heard some brand/loads dont really deform when deflated because they’re so tough (too tough).

    I do, it fits good under my 1st gen with the rearmost tabs on the tire holder bent out. Shouldn’t be a problem on your 2nd gen.

    Getting the ST Maxxs mounted today. Won’t lie, I’m pretty stoked to see them.

    -Not too loud...between the KOs (loud) and the Falken Wildpeaks (quiet).
    -Shop said they balanced perfectly but I’ve got a new steering wheel shimmy...I’ll be watching that.
    -Mildly noticeable loss in power/braking...I attribute that to added tire weight.
    -I can tell it’s a beefier tire in the handling...as expected.
    -No rubbing yet, I’ll try to flex the suspension tomorrow but it looks like no issues.
    -Shop said the full size spare would not fit, I plan on proving them wrong tomorrow.2861634F-1C62-4751-9668-26AB2B6AAFFE.jpg
    -I like the look. A lot.

    Yea, those are pretty freaking bad ass looking J :headbang: !!!!!!!!

    I wonder if the steering wheel shimmy is a worn component on the steering assembly and the heavier tires is accentuating it now?
    I would get a little shimmy on my 17 Sport when the Ridge Grapplers were cold, but it would go away. Could be that's the case?

    My biggest fear going with something like this is no recovering from poor MPGs. I got a little silly this weekend and dropped to under 17, but was able to pull it back up to over 18 today on the commute to work. I expect 19+ again when I get home tonight.

    I bet that OV Tune would help with the loss of power, and MPGs.

    :jellydance: Nice job indeed!

    Thanks! I’m hoping it’s just a new tire shimmy, we’ll see. Anxious to get them dirty now!
