    The more dirt i get them on the better they seem to grab too compared to the dtracs. Really liking them. Only downfall may be treadwear... seems people get lower miles out of them. They dont look to bad either :D

    I read up on them some and most said they do alright in snow but some said they just don't handle it well. I don't like that they wear fast either but what can you do :notsure:. I am sure I will be ready for new tires by then anyways...I barely put 10k on my truck in a year as is. If I get 25-30k out of them that is around 3 years.

    There was one guy that got 60k out of his RT03's. They also get rave reviews but I am not sure I am sold on them...they don't look as cool :p. Good looking all around tire regardless though. I had them on my lil gmc and I put a lot of blame on the tire for what was just a crappy truck and bad maintenance. I didn't rotate them ever and really...just knew nothing about trucks or offroading :p. I think I will end up giving them another shot with all the great reviews. I never did get them out in deep snow but everyone that has them seems to think they are amazing.

    I've been running mine at 38PSI and I've been getting good and even tread wear. Mines a daily driver and I do 63 miles daily, five days a week and mine still show little wear since I've had them.

    Tyler, feel free to steal any pictures and put them wherever man :) Just leave the watermark and all is good. I'm not on instagram and probably wont be, I just dont take pictures with my phone. Also, just to clarify, the light hoops, is that the standard angle for 12+ now? Just to help others who may wonder looking in here :thumbsup:

    Gage, I think the RT03's are a solid tire man. They were on the consider list for sure.

    Drew, i'm running 40 pounds in the front and 35 in the rear. That's what they chalk tested at for even wear for me but it's nice to hear you're close to the same number :D. I DD my truck too. There's 35k on my truck and i bought it not even two years ago haha...

    DO EET Drew! Glad I could help you make a good decision :D The bumper is awesome, everything about it, and you'll love it. Plus Tyler is a pretty rad dude :cool:

    Thanks Colton! Hows your rig running!?

    Wyoming is so beautiful, I wish we had some scenery like that around here. I plan on making a trip out there sometime during college. Some breathtaking views you guys got over there. Nice truck too ;)

    Your truck looks amazing with the new bumper. You should probably get on instagram though, just upload the pictures to your phone from your camera!

    I'll take a look into it Stephen, thanks!

    Got out today to tight spool with winch and stretch er out a bit :D

    MOAR PICTARS!

    [​IMG]

    That's 15psi. Pretty stiff sidewalls. These tires DIG when aired down!!!

    Leaf packs must be breaking in more because my shackle are falling forward farther than they used to be... I like!

    and a video of a fillup. CO2 FTMFW. Wheelers adjustable regulator is awesome, definitely as advertised for not freezing up. Ran it at 200psi for all four tires one right after the other. took less than 10 minutes total to fill up all 4!

    Well, i just didnt want to freeze it since it's better suited for my nitro tank and not cheap... and the extra adapter i had to use to be able to use it was annoying. But yea the wheelers adjustable flows like a mother!
