I'm in love with the tires so far. I havent had them in major mud yet, but as far as stump jumping and ditch climbing they have been excellent. Low road noise as well!

Any way you could get a few close ups of your leafs? I'm just curious how it looks. And also how is the ride with them??

Thanks All and thats especially high praise coming for you Jon! J Train, the first wheels are Centerline H/T series 31 in 15x8.5. They were made in USA, awesome wheels. Not sure I made the right decision to sell them for Chinese made Dickie Cepeckers. Wanted something "shinier" in a 15x10. Even alot of American Racing wheels are now made in China, sad state of affairs. Thanks again guys! Never planned on keeping this truck more than 5 years. Been about 16 now and it sees more garage time than previous new cars I have owned.

hi, I'm Barrett, like the .50 BMG, and here's my Ex Sport. Rolling on Brigeston 31 10.5s mounted on some Cragers. That's a Rage Powersports Black Widow rack with 5 5" pro comp lights. It's got a bumpin system with subs and components. It was actually a graduation gift for college. The only before pic I have is awesome, that's my dad's cobra he bought in 1970, it's really cool! Well Enjoy, tell me your opinions. \../-_-\../
