Do you have any rubbing? What rims are you running, stock or aftermarket? I am thinking about these tires but I don't want to buy tires every year. I had a real bad experience with one type of mud tire, they only lasted 14,000 miles. They were rotated and balanced every 3,000 miles. They wore very even and flat, just extremely fast. Have you driven with these tires in the snow?

TIA
Jason

Bad,
I have no rubbing at all on stock wheels. I haven't had them long enough to answer your other questions. 14,000 miles sucks! I hope to do better than that! The rubber is pretty soft so I'll see how that plays out.

I do expect pretty good traction in snow. They have more leading edges than a lot of M/T s I have seen. I may also have them siped if I can find someone to do it.

I bought mine from the dealer because they gave a pretty good credit for my stock tires with 500 miles on them. They didn't get them balanced right so I had some shaking at highway speeds. Had them redone at my local shop, now I have a smooth ride!

Bad,
Check out my pics, I don't have 305's, but I do have 285's (33") on a 17X10 wheel, no rubbing. I'm not exactly sure what the backspacing is, but they look great.

Hey Ramasaur,

Sweet truck - can you post a link to those rims? Did you buy them online?

Thanks!
