    Ok man will do. They look so much better in person too. It's a pretty mean looking tire for the money.

    For sure I am absolutely loving the way it made your truck look, I have the same 2.5 in front and no lift in back and it makes your truck look great!:D

    Thanks! I can't wait to see your truck done.
    The 2.5 in the front is great!

    Trust me, money doesn't flow too well in College either! I'm saving up for new tires currently. . .

    Your truck looks awesome though! Its always nice to see your hard earned money go towards something that looks great.

    Looks awesome. I also like the way you color-matched flares look with that color body. In fact I don't normally like the color-match flares but for some reason it looks sweet on your ride.

    My truck came with the Fenders, Door Handles, and bumpers all color matched. I mostly see the 1st generations with the black flares. I was think about getting some black flares but I liked these how they were.
    Thanks!

    Next up on the list:
    Either Line-X or a Steel bumper
    Firestick with CB radio(Not too big)


    Getting the dents on the drivers side rear door taken out this week!

    Nice.

    I don't like the look of the black flares on my Sunfire Red Pearl so looked into color-matched ones. Saw a 1st gen sunfire red pearl around town with color-matched flares and realized that I like the black better :eek: Although moto's (?) looks sweet because of the color matched handles, black wheels, black tint, etc...

    But again, I love the look of them on your colored body.

    Hmmm... now that I looked in the sunfire red pearl thread, I see a lot of color-matched flares that look sweet IMO... but they all have black wheels - maybe that's what I have to do

    Little Update:
    On the highway, these tires do hum a little more. They are pretty quiet in town but when you get on the highway they do have a higher pitched hum. Still it is on the quiet side for a mud terrain though. Pretty much at par with the BFG ATs like I said before.
