2007 ST Limited 4x4. Tires finally got in yesterday! 255/60/18 General Grabber At2s. Took the truck down and had them put on, man do i like them! They are quiet and smooth at highway speeds but have already been off road and what a difference over the stock michelins! Thought I would share with everyone...

Let me know what you think!

Look good!! How much taller and wider than stock if any? My Michellans are wearing fine, but I can not wait to get a more aggressive tire on the Trac. Those look like a good balance between street and trail.
Oh yeah, like the Honda sticker on the back, I have a CBR and a TRX. I was thinking of putting one on my truck which is exactly like yours minus 2 cylinders and an undercover versus stock cover. Where is that picture at?

Thanks! Stock size is 235/65/18...these are 255/60/18, so just a little wider. I can put my 2cents in and say that they are an excellent balance between street and trail. They handle exceptionally well on road, especially in wet conditions. They are quiet on the highway, they really are not noticeable. Off road traction is leaps and bounds about the Michellans! But that should be a given. I havent slipped yet out in the hill where i have been playing around at. I am in southern Utah.
I like the honda sticker on the truck, although, as you would assume, I get a lot of comments from people about having a honda sticker on a ford truck. They just dont understand.....RID RED!
 






Huge improvement!
 












looks good
 






truck looks good man! I picked up some 265/70r16 General Grabber AT2's and I love them, havent gotten stuck or lost traction since I've bought them!

GSU4X4

Very very nice man! I like the silver trac, looks good. Im diggin the honda love in this thread!
 






looks good! but whats up with the Honda stickers?
 






Thanks man, when I added the tires I removed the front valance too, I think it gave it a much more raised look (which is what I was going for)

I ride and race a honda crf250. im usually not a sticer/decal guy but decided to with the trac.
 












The truck looks great man, any plans of lifting it in the future?

whats with all the honda lovers around here, Yamaha all the way!

(if you talking to me) Thanks! I would love to lift it but I did a lot of modding to my old truck and I'm gonna try to resist on this one, mainly to keep my warranty (until 100,000 miles), after that its on!
 






is the dog a Japanese model too? lol
 






I want your Rim / Tire set up right now !!!!

I have never seen those rims before, and i think they would look sick painted black ! wonder if they would fit my 05 X ???

good choice with the GG AT2's !
 






Let us know how it does in the snow.
 






I can vouch they do great in the snow, I drove threw Snowmageddon (about 300 miles in snow) in West Virginia this past Feb and my tires only slipped once the whole time (on some ice on the highway under a bridge). I have 4x4 and traction control so I felt completely confident the entire time, and that was the first time I've ever driven in snow (I'm from GA so I never see snow)

Here's some pics...

I can also vouch they do great in the mud, I played in some mud to test them out and all I had to do was throw it in 4x4 high and reverse right out of it when the frame bottomed out.

Like GSU4X4 just said they do great in the snow. I spent the winter in Cedar City, UT where we got tons of snow and they did extremely well in the snow! They are actually a lot of fun to take out in the hills in the snow because of how well they perform!

Yet another happy General owner - 255/60R18s. I really like how they look when you get within about 30ft of them. I took them to get dirty as soon as the dealer gave me the truck back - 4 hrs of listening to random people's life stories at the dealership and wandering around the 95 degree, humid parking lot, but it's worth it.
