On topic ?s - whats your overall opinion of these tires? Ive heard they are really good for street and offroad. I really like them and have been debating on them. was thinking 33s but now leaning towards 35s with my 3.5 lift except i will assume my eb has stock gears. Have you had them on the hwy at a decent speed yet? how are the 4.56 gears?

Off topic, I really like how you covered your vents on your hood. nice...

I have now had them on the streets and hwy for approx 50 miles and 15 or so offroad miles. Nice on the street/hwy, not much noise at all, seems quieter than my old BFG mud terrains, handles fine although my bronco could use a little front end work to make it handle better.

Aired them down to 14 psi yesterday and I was impressed with their traction on the terrain we encountered. Mostly hardpack dirt with lots of deep ruts, some loose sections, hill climbs, and we did climb a few rock walls. Really gripped well on the rocks - super impressed with that, i went up a wall with no issues that a lot guys were struggling - of course they were not in Broncos so that was likely the problem ;D. For the first time airing them down I didnt want to go too low but now feel ok to go to my normal 11-12 psi. I would recommend them to anyone that takes their bronco out wheelin, for more of street bronco then I would consider something different. For example my F150 is 4x4 but when it comes time to get tires for it I will go with an all terrain type tire.

These tires are awesome in every aspect. I've wheeled them from light trails to class 4 rocks and drove from Phoenix to San Diego and back, no issues at all. Wear is very little and no chunking of tread. I air down to 13 osi all the time. I hav'nt tried them in the sand yet, mainly becuase I don't much like the sand. Enjoy the shoes Dave, they will get you where you need to be...

Finally after 16 years of running the same tires I bought some new 35x12.5x15 BFG KM2s. Could find much locally to flex it out but here's what it looks like. Pretty happy and it looks way better than prior tires. ;D

Looks good! Man I have a 3 1/2 inch lift that flexes pretty cool for my needs. I am running 33's. I would love to run 35's with my 3 1/2 but man I would tear that rubber up!....Truly you have a saweet rig!
