WOHOOOOOO!
Decided to call & check with tire shop...WOHOO! They were in (and had been since last Friday:madp:...they told me 6/5), anyway, they are BIG & MEATY! None of the shop guys thought they were goin' fit...even I had my doubts once I saw how big they looked!
There were some Nitto TGs (Giant 325s!) in the shop so it was great to see & compare both side by side. The Cooper's are a bit more "aggressive " looking, nice square shoulders, really cool tread pattern, will bit into dirt etc..really well. Filled them to 40 psi, but Riff says to take 'em up to 50 per sidewall.
Showed them the pic where to rim cladding, they trimmed it off & everything went smooth! Now no rubbing, no problem, AND no more shimmy (as they discovered all my weights had fallen off the old), I now have a much better ride quality, smoother over the ruts and potholes etc on the dirt road, AND, the biggest factor...I can still get in it!!!! That 1.21" increase is still "doable" (but I sure couldn't get it any higher than that). So I'm totally jazzed!!!! I'm in love with these tires! If you have any doubts, DON'T....get them!
Will get it cleaned up and post some pics tomorrow.
