ProComp XATs on Dale Jr Cannons, Pics
Thought I would give an update on my thoughts of this tire and wheel combo.
I really like the wheels. They clean easy, look sharp and people do comment on them.
When the tires were first installed and I began driving I thought that I had made a big mistake. The truck drove like a boat in that the on-road tracking was horrible. I was always having to do corrective steering and they seemed to follow every crack in the road. I checked the air pressure and found that one of the tires was only aired to 50 lbs instead of the 60 lbs the other three had. Aired the tire up and that helped some but they still did not have the excellent road manners that the BFGs they replaced had had.
At 4000 miles I had them rotated and balanced. When the tech was done, he asked me if I was having a lot of vibration because one of the tires took 4 oz to balance. After I left the shop, it was like driving a whole new truck. It now tracks straight and true and does not try to follow cracks. I suspect that the tire was not balanced correctly when installed or it slung the weights off.
With that behind me, I like these tires. They handle well on pavement, make very little noise, and have yet to spin on wet pavement. We're in a drought here so they have not seen any mud yet but I did have them on the beach in loose sand and they did well. If you go with these tires, make sure to keep them balanced and aired properly, as they seem picky.
I'll update later on how fast they are wearing.

I'm sure they would as I do not have any lift.
The concern would be if they would rub the frame in a hard turn. Someone who knows better than me how to calculate clearance would have to speak to that. The wheels I have do not have as much offset as the stockers so they provide the extra clearance needed.

I have a rock drive way and they do pick them up on occasion. I usually hear them hit under the truck. The mud flaps seem to do their job and keep them from hitting the paint as I haven't noticed any damage.
