OK, here's the first rudimentary attempt at a foto of the new skinz...I know, it sucks contrast wise & gives a rather poor view of the tread, but I've been wanting to put up a pic for days now & the sun just hasn't been cooperating.
Keep in mind, this is just a "teaser"...I'll post a better shot after I give her a bath & have another inch of lift installed.
My first impression of the tires is : WOW, these things are really LOUD going down the road, that was expected.
Also, the side-walls are INSANELY stiff.(load range E) It took me (230 lbs.) & another guy (approx. 180 lbs...I didn't weigh him) both standing on the sidewall (on top of the tire machine) to get the bead into the drop, while a third guy ran the machine.
The really amazing thing is, I haven't had them balanced yet & from 0-75+ mph there is litteraly NO vibration...unbelievable for a tire that weighs almost 75 lbs. (shipping weight, I haven't actually weighed them either).
And yes, I did have to do more than a bit of trimming/ 2 lb. hammer modifications to the front fender wells. (due mostly to more neg. offset)
I'm glad y'all weren't able to talk me outta this!!!
