    Looks good! I'm thinking of doing the same thing, minus the studs. How's the ride- does it seem to be stiffer with those tires?

    I like how the lug nuts were left to remain silver. Looks tough.

    I thought it definitely looked more like a truck..

    The ride is still good, I do feel the road more.. I wish these were available in a 6 Ply tire but oh well.. The 10ply should take a kicking..

    I do notice some more road noise from the tires but not bad at all..

    The lugnuts are still the originals because I didn't have enough cash to buy black ones.. But I think I might leave them.. It doesn't look as bad as I thought..

    Thanks Guys..
