Keep lots of air in them, they come off the rim very easy.

D50, why do they come off the rim very easy?
I run 50# in front and 35# in the rear on AR alloys,same style as above- helps a little with the harsh ride.

Yeah if you run the 16.5 tire down low on pressure they can pop the bead but theses won't have that problem because they will never be lower then 40 psi at any time I may end up going to a wider wheel not sure but theses will atleast get it on the ground when I get to that point

Mine are 16s. 285/75/16 on 16x7 - rims are too narrow but haven't had any problems. Will be putting 17x9s with 285/70/17s on it after I rebuild the front diff.

Dang, for $40, I would have had them shipped to me! I cannot find tires for my 16.5's wheels for less than $800 shipped, without balancing and mounting...

Doin brakes on mine yesterday and found the one front tires has a crack in between the treads...

Know of any deals on 315/75/16's here in IL? I'd like to stay with that size since have one tire on there that's about a year old...unless I can get a set of 37's or 38's on-the-cheap...
