I may be wrong but my 315x12.5x17's won't ride flat with more than about 42psi on an empty truck. Maybe the stiffer E's will sit flatter..... but on an 8" wheel I would not think so.

They're sitting flat from what I can tell. I had a layer of dust on my garage floor and the full tread was making contact as the tires showed an even layer of dust on the tread after rolling through it. They actually still have just a little bit of bulge in them.

I am about to get on the plane to Little Rock AR for the interview.

No longer have to get stuck with my truck up on jack stands and needing to go to the hardware store for the right part!

Two side benifits of this purchase.....
1) Saved a ton of money by not buying a 2010 CTD.
2) Correlary to Murphy's Law insures I will never again get stuck with wrong part! (like no one ever gets stuck enough to need a tow, after installing tow hooks!)

Nice Jeep! If I had the $$$, I'd buy it real quick. Friend of mine has a new one, but looks just like that, except white with hard top. The thing rides and drives great.

Like I said, you can Peetz from one county to the next up there.

On the up side, you are only about two or three hours to some really pretty mountains just west of Fort Collins. A lot of good white water rafting in that area.

Good luck on getting the job!

Great! Glad it all worked out for you. I'm sure things in Peetz will never be peaceful. Can you say "It was so quiet I heard a mouse fart!"
