im curious about those tires also, found 315's on tire rack for $156 a piece. thinking seriously about gettin them. they dont seem to be aggressive, hoping they are quieter than my pro comp m/ts...they are terrible for noise and wear for that matter

If it is the tire I am thinking about it chops pretty bad. Saw a set on a 08 DMax with 20k. I would say chop is worse than bfg mudder. I personally don't have any experience with the tire so I can't say if with correct suspension and alignment the tire won't be better. I have run bfg and toyo on my truck and I know I will be sticking with the toyos.

I ran them for a while, I will never buy them again, worse tire ive ever owned for balancing, finally got rid of them as they always had a shudder in them, they were "tried to be balanced" 4 times, I tried 2 sets as a friend owned a tire shop and he traded my first set out, still couldnt get them to run smooth, They are great for crew cabs filled with logger`s beating up and down dirt roads, they ware good, but wont balance, my .25c worth
